Chart of Consumer Credit Since 1950



This is a chart of consumer credit excluding loans backed by real estate since 1950. Source is Federal Reserve and Bloomberg. Debt can be reduced in two ways: paying it down and defaulting on it. I think we have some more delevering of the economy to go coupled with a longer recession than what I see being predicted in the news on average.
