I agree with you, but I don’t think it’s correct to say “Future generations do not pay for state borrowing.” Someone in those future generations is bearing the burden, it’s just that part of it is a (coerced) transfer within the private sector. By aggregating the private sector, you’re giving the Krugman argument of “we owe it to ourselves”
