Don't know if it was posted here earlier, but on the grant's e-mail teaser this weekend there was a blurb about consumer debt:

<<-> THE POOR CONSUMER
"'More than one-third of the entire population is immediately at risk of
insolvency if almost anything financially negative happens to them,' said
Stuart A. Feldstein the other day, referring to none other than the American
population in this, the new economy. Reading Feldstein's remarks, we stared,
swallowed - and called for a second opinion. To Susan Sterne, ace consumer
economist, we asked, Can in be? Certainly, Sterne replied. She sent back the
accompanying fraph, which shows that the growth in consumer borrowing last
year outstripped the growth in consumer spending
. The readers of Grant's can
probably guess where the consumer placed some of the proceeds of his or her
borrowings.">>
