233 million new 2nd quarter credit card accounts a record high since 2008.
Total card debt in 2nd quarter up $46 Billion to $890 billion, $100 billion over last year.
The New York Fed noted that delinquency rates for credit card debt is still relatively low.
Household debt increased by $312 billion, now $2 trillion higher than before the pandemic.
Auto loans also went up, with balances increasing by $33 billion.

It's going to get bad when the shit hits the fan with China since 90% of what we buy is made there.
In addition a lot of this debt rather than from the west who had a habit of reducing or forgiving debts, is from China and going to be a tougher row to hoe.Totting up the cost is eyewatering.

Using 1,000 basis point bond spreads as a pain threshold, analysts calculate $400 billion of debt is in play. Argentina has by far the most at over $150 billion
