What A Lannister Always Pays

Here is a look at various types of debt.

Linear scale.

Log scale.

All we ever hear about is the size of the Federal Debt.

It is dwarfed by total credit market debt.

It is only slightly larger than non-financial corporate business debt.
It is no larger, and in recent years has typically been smaller than
-  Household credit market debt
-  Domestic financial sector debt.

Nobody (well, almost) ever talks about any debt other than federal.

But it is the least of our problems.
