Reducing the deficit can lead to a slower increase in the national debt, as a smaller deficit means the government is borrowing less money. If the deficit is reduced consistently over time, it could stabilize or even decrease the overall debt level relative to the country's GDP. However, the impact on actual debt levels depends on various factors, including economic growth, interest rates, and government spending policies. Ultimately, a reduced deficit contributes to better fiscal health in the long run.
