As with many MSM reports, the article seems to put most of blame on the Greek government for the crisis. Less concern is expressed about the impact of banker-led austerity on public service. To partly address this, can we not have a more balanced main title? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.44.107.130 (talk) 20:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The current title seems more descriptive to me, since it is public debt, not private debt, which could hypothetically be a separate problem. I also think the current title seems pretty neutral. As I read it, it's not placing blame, it's stating that "government-debt" is causing the crisis; I think that the hyphenation makes that interpretation pretty reasonable. Then again, perhaps others would parse it differently. Natsirtguy (talk) 20:44, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
