Govs always borrow when they have to hit the panic button - just as they have in the past and are currently for the latest reason.
It has one aim - try and keep the GDP as much as possible etc and also in some cases to allow people to live in a "reasonable" fashion.
If you don't like it simple go live in a 3rd world country. Different problem can crop up then - a country can go bust. That is one of the things they borrow for but it still might happen. 3rd worldish - well some are.
