Excessive Debt Bug

Anytime you go below -2000bc in debt, the next turn you are at only -2000 whether you had enough income to get there or not.

That may be because the AI shut down all your production to pay off the debt. Or is it a case of automatically coming back to -2000 every time you're under it, no matter what?

It's the second one. I have several times gone down to nearly 100k in debt only to see most of it wiped out next turn, with my economy only producing ~1.5k a turn.

It's not a bug. It's supposed to be that way to prevent newbies from accidentally putting themselves so far in the hole they can't get back out, but it can be exploited. There has been talk of limiting the -2k cap to the lesser difficulties but the change hasn't been implemented yet that I've seen.
