"This debt is slowing growth"
Debt doesn't slow growth if it's going back into the economy -- see fiscal multipliers.
"pushing up interest rates"
Not necessarily so. We had a shrinking debt in the late-90s but rates were well over 7%.
"worsening inflation"
Not necessarily so. Japan has a debt-to-GDP ratio well over 200% and spent most of the last 3 decades at Zero Interest Rate Policy.
