Despite the record high market indexes, there is considerable evidence of

• Market turbulence,
• Irrational exuberance, and
• Oblivion to debt.

While people have been aware of Debt, they have ignored, suppressed, or suspended concerns about it. The "Thought Stream," as measured by MI2, shows clearly that people have focused very little Attention on Debt.

• During the time period from 26-May-07 through 17-Jun-07, Debt-Attention was ranked last or next to last (17th or 16th) 15 times out of 17 – or about 88.2% of the time.

This is strange considering that the total outstanding debt of the U.S. (financial and nonfinancial sectors included) has ballooned from about 29.3 trillion at yearend 2001 to more than $44.5 trillion at yearend 2006.*
