In conjunction with an economic analysis of various portions of the Internal Revenue Code, the Joint Committee on Taxation looked at various aspects of business debt and household debt. The household debt portion was in conjunction with an analysis of the home mortgage interest deduction taken by taxpayers on Schedule A as an itemized deduction.
For these purposes, household debt included primarily the home mortgage debt but also consumer credit. Putting substance to the belief that the American consumer is overleveraged, the Joint Committee on Taxation indicated that the ratio of total credit market debt outstanding in the household sector to disposable personal income is roughly 20 percent higher in 2010 than 2000, 40 percent higher than in 1990 and twice the level that existed in 1960.

The consensus belief in the Traditional model animated the drafting of the 1978 Bankruptcy Code, the basic architecture of which remains in place today.4 In the spring of 2005, however, Congress enacted comprehensive bankruptcy reform legislation by an overwhelming bipartisan majority.5 These political efforts came in response to a surge in consumer bankruptcy filings over the past twenty-five years, and the perception of excessive fraud and abuse in the consumer bankruptcy system. Scholars have attempted to reconcile this anomaly by incorporating the available evidence within the Traditional model.15 If the underlying model is sound, the process of ordinary science will generate increasingly accurate and instructive refinements to the model.16 If the model is flawed, however, it will ...

A question on the steps bankers can take to control and limit real estate loan risk is answered. Banks have been so competitive with one another that they've taken on a lot of risk. Without the proper risk-control mechanisms, there can be a lot of trouble for your institution. When you evaluate your real estate risk in your portfolio, you look at your concentration of credit and then decide if you want to take on any more. For consumer credit, you're going to pay much closer attention to the debt-to-income ratio, and for commercial credit, you're going to be giving a closer look to coverage ratios. The subprime situation hasn't directly affected community banks, but there could be a ripple effect.

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011.
