Borrowing billions/trillions to spend on your economy will greatly increase your debt load and also thus your interest payable vis-a-vis the budget.

Why would you want to increase that interest payment through higher interest rates when it's already increasing through greater amounts of debt?

And what would happen if that interest rate skyrocketed through some device of its own?

Just another drop in the proverbial bucket.
