The UK public sector debt is predicted to rise from 40% of GDP last year, to 100% of GDP by 2014.
Japan by comparison already has a public sector deficit of 218% this year and a predicted deficit of 246% by 2014.
Japan has a real problem in the unprecedented scale of its fiscal deficit. It also has a real problem with deflation. Japanese consumer prices fell 2.4% in September, the largest on record.
Exports have fallen 31% after the great recession and a rapid appreciation of the Yen.

I would imagine a lot of that debt was due to the Government central planning and funding of R&D and Infrastructure, including Internet Infrastructure (but willing to be proven wrong).
