I think you need to read some Keynesian economic theory. The fact is there are times when the spending of business and consumers collapse (for a wide variety of reasons). This situation can lead to a depression as the decline in spending is self re-enforcing, I.E. I spend less, you lose your job, you spend less and the next person loses their job. So, having the government at this time use it's credit to borrow can break this cycle just long enough to start a cycle in the reverse direction.
