Crowding Out Effect

Explanation:

Increasing government lending raises rate of interest, as investors become uncertain about the capacity of government to repay, therefore government needs to present higher interest rates.

A rise in government debt which holds taxes stagnant continues to crowd out private spending which dampens the beneficial effects of increased government spending on Aggregate Demand. The rise in Aggregate Demand is likely to be less than anticipated by policymakers.
