Yes, and a deficit means we are getting charged too much too. It's just a matter of paying for it now or later, either way it will be paid. Either way we are bing charged too much either way.

Captial expenditures are a bet on the future. The sky is NOT falling!

You know if families took better care of their own elderly, paid their own medical expenses, if we did not subsides failing farms, pay for performance art that sucks, a radio station that appeals to the sleepless, payed mothers to have babies, or abort them ( a womens right to choose, my burden to pay?). If the federal government did what it was originally designed to do, protect commerence, develop trade and maintain an armed forces, we would not lose BILLIONS in Medicare, welfare, crappy art, railroad museums, radio stations, and unnecessary pork by the barrel full, we would also, not have a deficit.
