They still have to pay back their debt regardless of the payments. They are not lowering their household debt as the % of disposable income. The ratio is now at about 100% vs 70% in 1980 and 35% in 1950. This, IMO, has more far reaching implications than a temp. lower (not that much lower really, considering historically low int rates) debt service burden.
