So if Australia's GDP was doubled, from say $750b to $1,500b, would the current debt be construed as good debt?
If the GDP doubling was enabled by the expenditure then the debt would be a good thing.
If the debt was blown on having a good time, the GDP can't double because the required capital would be scarce and expensive.
Even governments can't spend the same dollar twice.
