  "Summary": "<p>Debt is a function of growing economies and is critical, but when does it become a problem? This is interesting chart looking over the decades:</p><p>1. We see dramatic increased steepness in 1980-2000 - an era of growth and prosperity brought on from the post 1970's difficulties;<br /></p><p>2. More steepness 2000-2010, characterized by real estate going crazy and the Internet revolution moving into mainstream;<br /></p><p>3. A fall with deleveraging from the 2008 GFC;<br /></p><p>4. Less steep in the 2010's from the GFC hangover<br /></p><p>5. A dramatic increase in steepness in the 2020's, which is a factor of federal government debt spiraling out of control.  <br /></p>Private sector debt OK at present, but government debt will be a problem, which then may cause problems in the private sector as the economy turns because it is not getting stimulus from government debt spending.    <br />",
