I thought we were told that debt was LOW by the board jester @NJPSU . Oddly enough, he isn't listening to CNN, but instead a self important TWEETER.... lmfao...
And Trump's tax cut were a "sugar high" to @NJPSU .... lmfao.... It really doesn't get much richer than that.........

New York (CNN Business)American households are carrying record amounts of debt as home and auto prices surge, Covid infections continue to fall and people get out their credit cards again.
Between July and September, US household debt climbed to a new record of $15.24 trillion, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said Tuesday.
It was an increase of 1.9%, or $286 billion, from the second quarter of the year.
"As pandemic relief efforts wind down, we are beginning to see the reversal of some of the credit card balance trends seen during the pandemic," such as lower spending in favor of paying down debt balances, said Donghoon Lee, research officer at the New York Fed.
Now that the stimulus sugar rush has worn off, consumers are going back to their old ways of spending with their credit cards. Credit card balances rose by $17 billion, just as they had during the second quarter. But they're still $123 bullion lower than at the end of 2019 before the pandemic hit.
