they doesn't necessarily need to pay it back...
everyone thinks that "debt" is bad, but imagine you are a real estate investor... each year you borrow 100k to buy a piece of real estate, rent it out, and after all expenses including interest payments, you come out ahead by $10k/year...
in that scenario you could continue borrowing 100k each year forever, letting your debt grow to ridiculous levels, but as long as your income grows 10k/year each time you do it, where is the problem?
of course this assumes that the borrowed funds are actually invested wisely, not pissed away on useless stuff...
