municipal debt can pencil out positively, so debt by itself isn't necessarily bad. critique the debt in light of the financial case behind it, not in isolation. good bills/measures should absolutely be backed with debt if they are at least revenue-neutral and provide broad and outsized positive social dividends. anything that's revenue-negative should be funded by taxes, or not funded at all.
