If you're having to take a loan to pay for basic stuff for your family, that means you're either spending too much or earning too little.

The government's debt is not the same type of thing as household debt. Can you elaborate on how you think they are the same? Do you believe there are not other factors besides just credits being less than debits?

So people shouldn't take out a mortgage on a house? Shelter is pretty basic.

"basic stuff" != "mortgage".

I mean things like food, clothing and utilities.
