The huge deficits from the Great Depression and WWII were paid back without a single surplus Budget. Governments can pay the debts down by growing the economy.
Interest rates etc can be used to control inflation—that is, by monetary not fiscal policy.
That's the rabbit in the hat - the magic money printing machine
that halfwits think will solve all our problems.
What it does is cause inflation which robs people of their savings -
it's an enormous invisible tax on sensible people who have saved money.

No, deficit Budgets do not cause inflation.
READ a book on Macroeconomics.
