Yes just business. Like Online porn taking business from offline porn.
Or like buying goods made in places where it's cheaper to produce those goods. Strange how people clothed in goods made in China, Philippines, etc. Are complaining about jobs going over seas.

They play a very big role in keeping some private companys in business which in turn keep people in jobs. The more cuts the councils have to deal with the less they will sub contract out to the private sector which has a knock on effect on the economy

They keep the infrastructure running so the private sector can make the money to pay for them.
The deciding factor will always be what the private sector can produce in profits to pay for the public sector. If Gordon Brown had only been spending that amount, the UK wouldn't be facing massive debts. Like you and I we borrow money to buy something we can't afford to pay for in one go or as an investment. And we're limited to what we can repay or we go bankrupt. All parties agree there has to be cuts, the only difference is the amount of cuts and the time it will take to repay them.
That decision is often in the hands of the people loaning the money.

I think everybody knows that the public sector is funded by tax payers and that is not the point I was trying to get across.

This demonstrates a fundamental lack of intelligance.
Gordon Brown didn't fund the public sector out of taxes. He did it by borrowing.
