Very good Bob, but most people won't read or understand what you've said. One ballot argument for a bond proposition actually still said that it "won't raise taxes!" Well, if taxes aren't raised to pay the interest then something else will have to be cut, so the question is whether the bond is for something that justifies the cost.
One other use of bonds, that isn't really at issue in most cases discussed here, is short-term cash flow. Essentially, payday loans. The money is coming, but it isn't here yet, and we need to meet payroll. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with that if done with full knowledge and intent that it reduces the ultimate amount of money available (must pay interest on that payday loan). Businesses do it all the time, as do government agencies (taxes tend to arrive in big chunks at certain times of year; people need to be paid every other week or monthly).
