But this presents an opportunity to discuss just how much debt are you willing to accept as "normal"?

Because I really don't understand what arbitrary measure you are using in determining what amounts to excessive debt..

IMO, if someone loses their job, debt that had PREVIOUSLY been completely serviceable suddenly becomes excessive (as in the case of my Niece and Nephew).

That's why I focus on keeping people employed in productive jobs, even if it involves government funded infrastructure projects.

It's very easy to create a debt crisis if you lay off 20% of our country's work-force.
