The "passing the problem to the next generation" thing doesn't make any sense.
There are two possibilities: If in 25 years there wil be enough real resources (machines, infrastructure, knowledge..) for covering all the needs of the people, the accumulate debt is not going to be a problem. If in 25 years there will not be enough real resources, the government finances are going to be irrelevant.
So, what is the best way to make sure there are going to be enough resources? investing in infrastructure and education or "saving" money?
