I don't know if there is a general consensus among nations in the direction you are saying but it seems to be happening in almost all nations as most of the countries are in debt with no plans of paying back instead they leave it for the coming generation. I have though about it and it never made sense to me why the leaders have to chose that part. The money my country is owing will take 10 generations to pay back meanwhile the money was borrowed within a decade and we cannot point to what the money was used for. If this is not corruption and a grand design to mess up nations and generations to come, I don't know where to place it.
