There really wasn't just that much debt (leverage) around in 1991 as compared to today - both on corporate balance sheets and household balance sheets - even adjusted for GDP/Income, etc. I thought this was clear as to the extent of the problem. There are plenty of studies that you can find off the net to answer your questions.

mm: You missed the soup that I made out of the 2 pennies yesterday. 13-something is a lucky number, IMO, so I'll be in again for a Long Term Buy & Sell (LTBS).☻ Mick (_$_)

<<P.S. I have a truck load more in debt than I did in 1990, but my net worth is 10 times what it was in 1990. So I don't mind the debt (and no it's not margin or any other high risk debt, rather it's house and car loans). >> Did you know that if you have an IRA or a 401k the govt does not count that as savings? And if you take on personal debt against your house or unsecured personal debt and buy a small business, the debt shows up in govt figs as debt, but in terms of assets, your new business is ignored.
