One should be careful when making arguments like "do you think x current problem would happen if y happened?". There are a lot more in play than just voting rights when it comes to country-scale issues like national debt.

Like I wrote in one the last comments in the blog, you should instead consider: given that all systems have good and bad points (and loopholes, etc), which would you prefer, the current one or the system where children can vote? At the end of the day, it's a highly subjective choice, and given that this is a binary choice, the worst case scenario is that we get the second best option.
