Jay- good insight re the interest rate and effect on debt burden.

I would comment that much of the consumer debt is fixed rate, meaning a rise or drop in rates has a muted impact on debt service cost at the consumer level.

In a period of declining rates, as we are now, I don't see the debt burden as unusually high, nor a probable key factor in a new depression.
