While Rachel Reeves obsesses over government borrowing, 4 million people are unable to afford the basics of life without debt. That's the real debt crisis.

Rachel Reevesโ budget must reduce inequalities and increase spending capacity of the masses
This is how to secure sustained economic growth
UK economic growth model is fatally flawed.
It assumes that rising inequalities and impoverishing the masses will lead to economic growth.
Squeezed low/middle income households lack resources, can't aid growth.
The next budget needs to be judged on how it helps the bottom 50% of people.
