'Just one example:But it turns student debt has just exceeded one-and-a-half times total credit card debt!'
'First, here’s credit card debt (“revolving credit”) since 1970 through the first quarter of this year. '
'I was struck by the fact that the auto loan total — at just above $1.1 trillion — has now eclipsed credit card debt. '
'Notice where that credit card debt was in 2008 in nominal dollar terms — just over $1 trillion. '
