"368%: The jump since 2007 in the measure of consumer credit held by the government comprised primarily of student loans.

Issuance of student loans has soared in recent years, hitting $867 billion at the end of 2011, according to an analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, more than credit cards or auto loans."
