A new study in the United States is suggesting state governments are carrying both total and future liabilities in the range of between 1 to 4 trillion US dollars.
The Harvard Institute of Government report suggets the debt at the state level is a result of pension and health care programs for government workers.
These future liabilities are in addition to the money that individual state governments may have already borrowed.
US policy makers 1 are now being confronted with the challenge of trying to reduce the debt loads without causing any drastic consequences for people's lives.
For more on this situation, CRI's Nathan Wakelin-King spoke 2 with Professor Geoffrey Garet, founder 3 of the US Studies Centre at the University of Sydney.
