Why did Hamilton want to add to the national debt

He wanted to to pay off both the federal and states war debt

Explanation:

He suggested that the debt be funded by reissuing bonds to be paid back in full after 15 or 20 years. There for, rather than eliminating the debt, Hamilton's plan created a large, permanent public debt, issuing new bonds as old ones were paid off. Congress approved this proposal shortly afterword.
