US recession is over...!?

[theFNG]

According to this article consumer debt is a good sign for the economy. The data given is from the FED's G-19 report. It shows a huge jump in consumer debt in the last 12 months. So does this mean the recession is over, or does it mean the bull run end is near? I can't find similar data for year prior to 2006 to see what exactly is a "healthy" level of consumer debt, but negative to near zero debt growth appears to be sign of recession. Thoughts?

What is happening now are the seeds that will grow into the wipe out in the U.S. economy.
No single reason will cause this but instead an alignment of lots of small things.
The interest rates in the U.S. will soon rise and these loans will be one of many things that will strangle any recovery. A soaring U.S. dollar will damage exports and the overtaxing government will do the rest.
