This is part of a much larger speech he gave at the time, but it sums up his, and most of America’s founding fathers beliefs, that the worst thing our nation could do was to go into debt and saddle those not responsible for that debt, with that debt.
They knew that for a nation, deficit spending was even easier than it is for an individual. And, that kind of spending ALWAYS has to be repaid!
Who repays it?

All those politicians in Washington have held public office before they got to the capital and How’s That Working Out for YOU?”, (I don’t have the quote in front of me, so please excuse if I’ve paraphrased just a bit!).
