A national economy does not work like a household credit card. In fact: the more the government is in "debt", that's the more money we have potentially flowing around our economy & improving our living standards. A self imposed rule to "balance the books" is dangerous nonsense.

This is dangerous misinformation: “Now there’s a ceasefire, we can get aid in.” The humanitarian system delivers during wars because laws and customs protect aid workers & supply trucks. Israel violated these laws repeatedly—and not one Western state acted to enforce them.
