The entire world economy is based on perpetual growth model. It requires in place of actual growth an increase in money supply by whatever means necessary and debt is a huge part of that. If they tried to balance anything it all would crash in a deflationary spiral. They will run it up past the point of anything the world could produce in hundreds of years in the future. At that point there will have to be a reset. Hopefully I'm dead and gone beforehand because that reset is the Mad Max era.
