Is there ever a sound economic reason for governments to spend more than they collect in taxes and borrow the difference

It might sound a bit odd, but yes there is definitely a sound economic reason for governments to spend more than they collect in taxes and borrow the difference. This kind of steps are taken by governments that have a wide outlook. If the spending is based on the fact that it would generate more revenues in the future and help the people, then this kind of economic system is definitely sound.
