managed and prudent debt is good to expand.

take it down to the individual level : 100% finance and interest only payment is not good.

IMHO, the US govt is close to being (if not already) in the 2nd category.

EDIT: like another poster noted : Govt is not in the biz of expansion to deliver profits to shareholders. Thats a big diff in approach.

When HWP bought Appollo it was a cash deal.

Only when HWP became HPQ, did debt become part of the picture.
