Debt weighs down consumer spending, economists say
Mortgage debt and other consumer liabilities have fallen to 105% of disposable income in the fourth quarter, down from 123% in 2007. But many homeowners still owe more than their homes are worth, which is dampening their spending habits. In addition, student debt is rising, weighing down particularly young Americans whose spending is key to the economy, some economists say.
