Basic Math...
I could not possibly disagree with you more. I can not even begin to fathom the logic here. 
(to the wifey) Hi hon! We.. *cough* I owe $55 thousand dollars, so we need to have some kids to spread the debt over the whole family... this will lower each of our share. Ready to get close? (not the best romantic line)
I suppose there is some male logic in that... 
but otherwise this is completely insane.
Here's how to tell if you are over spending personally or nationally. If your debt is more now than last week, last month, or last year... you are over spending. Get this... it's the same for government! If the federal government owes more now, than last week, month, year, or decade, it's over spending!
At the end of the month, if you total up your pay checks and bills, and the total for your pay checks is lower than the total for your bills... that's over spending.
If the government outlays, not on-budget off-budget, but total outlays is more than it's receipts, that's over spending.
Population, GDP, and all other factors are completely and totally irrelevant. I don't care if you owed $10 last year and inflation was 50%, and now you owe $15 this year. You over spent by $5. You spent $5 more than you earned this year. Man this feels like a 4th grade math class... -10 + -5 is -15. Less is not more.
