Steve, There are several sources of debt information. The following is a link to the U.S. Flow of Funds data. I believe that it's the most comprehensive. I am not positive but, I believe that it does not include home equity loans, car leases (which have replaced debt for some but require payments similar to debt service), and perhaps a few other consumer items that I am not aware of. It's an eyeful but I hope it helps. The report comes out quarterly. bog.frb.fed.us Wayne

Steve, The best source is The Richebacher Letter. But nobody covers every bit of the debt explosion because some of the debt is secret. However, the public stuff is scary enough.
