The country's.
Which is paid by the population through taxes.
Just wanted to hammer home the point that when "the government" racks up massive debt, it is taxpayers who foot the bill. Which is one thing when the lives of the population are being improved through infrastructure, or you're making a sacrifice to help those in need. But it's quite another when it's just some extra money for a few while tanking the economy.
