In Sept Uncle Sam Continued To Hand Out Car And Student Loans Like A Drunken Sailor
In September Uncle Sam Continued To Hand Out Car And Student Loans Like A Drunken Sailor

Following one of the highest monthly jumps in consumer credit in August, the September data showed that following the drop in household savings to a multi-year low, consumers naturally retrenched, and had no choice but to pay down debt. As the just released G.19 confirmed, in September, households once again reduced their credit card debt, which declined by $2.9 billion to $852 billion. This was the fourth such decline in six months, confirming that at the discretionary level where banks have supervision over borrowings, the consumer is still nowhere near willing to relever. Where, there was leverage, a lot of it, was once again in the government sector, which funded $13.8 billion of the total $14.6 billion rise in NSA credit, and where non-revolving credit: read loans for Government Motors, at least those that have not been record channel stuffed (as reported previously) and Federal Student Loans, which are now over $1 trillion, rose by $14.3 billion in one month. Of course, the difference between revolving and non-revolving credit is that while banks expect the former to be paid off eventually, Uncle Sam has no such illusions on any low APR debt it hands out to anyone who asks for it (and if the proceeds from student loans are used to purchase iPads, so be it).
Total monthly loan change:
Composition of lenders. As usual, it is only the government:
To summarize:
- Private (revolving) credit added YTD: $565 Million
- Uncle-Sam (non-revolving), and thus never collectible, credit YTD: $105 BILLION
