It is important that more attention is now paid to public liabilities – not only growing sovereign debt, but also larger, non-debt liabilities embedded in social-insurance programs. A combination of defective growth models, rising longevity, and unanticipated increases in costs (such as health care in America) have caused these longer-term liabilities to explode.
更多地关注公共负债很重要——公共负债不仅包括不断积累的主权债务，也包括那些在社会保险项目上数目更为庞大的非债务负债。有缺陷的增长模式、不断延长的寿命与超出预计的成本增加（比如美国的医疗）一起导致了长期债务的爆发式增长。
