Consumer borrowing has slowed somewhat from the record level we saw in June, but Americans continue to pile on the debt.

Consumer debt grew by $14.4 billion in August to $4.35 trillion, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve. That represents a 4% increase.

This follows on the heels of a 4.8% increase in July after a record 10.6% increase in June.

But underneath, the entire thing is rotting from the inside.
