Not completly. The debt that was dragging the country under had been accumulated over a period of generations. It was only that Louis XVI did not deal well with the crisis that he can be faulted.
No, the economic problem was created long before his birth.

The French Revolution began in 1789.
The French Revolution against King Louis XVI and his 'ancien régime'.
The same as during the revolution: he reigned the country. The revolution began in 1789, and in that same year the royal familie was replaced from Versailles to Paris and installed in the Tuillerie palace. They were under house-arrest so to speak (they were not allowed to leave the city, let alone the country), but Louis XVI still reigned until in 1792 the national Assembly announced that he was no longer King and they took over. From that moment on he was addressed as Monsieur Capet.
1789
The French Revolution took place from 1789 to 1799.
The French got rid of their king during the French revolution (1789 - the king Louis XVI was beheaded in Jan. 1793), during the 1830 revolution (ousting of Charles X, replaced by the constitutional monarchy of Louis-Philippe), and the 1848 revolution (ousting of Louis-Philippe and proclamation of the 2nd republic).
The french revolution started in 1789 but the monarchy ended only 1792. In the meantime, Louis XVI was still king of France (with limited powers).
No. The revolution had already begun with the storming of the Bastille at 14 July 1789 and the Tennis Court Oath that same year. Louis' death did mark the beginning of "the Terror", an extremely bloody and murderous period during the French revolution.
The French Revolution of 1789 stood for the ideas of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
