Okay, but you specifically stated 'private-sector debt levels' were the biggest problem facing our society today, that term means companies and businesses.
If you're talking about people, individuals, then there is no differentiating between public and private.
Teachers and Nurses have credit cards and mortgages too. They're allowed, this isnt some sort of pseudo-apartheid or anything.
And if they have high debt levels thats a choice that they've made, a presumably informed, choice, and its between them and their creditors.
Their debt isnt backed by the Government and is out of the Government's control so I have no idea why we're even talking about it other than perhaps to deflect attention away from what I stated to be the biggest issue facing us at the moment and that is public sector pensions.
