Higher national debt could eventually result in inflation or higher taxes on wealth, neither of which they approve because of the erosion of the real value of wealth.

They don't care if higher wage rates outpaces inflation either. They're not fighting for the "little people" who actually use their labor (instead of capital) for income.
