The Fed in their last meeting raised concern about a metric that measures financial stability, and it's not good. This implies that there is a bubble looming that is created by artificial cheap debt in the market driving borrowing to new highs. Real or scare tactic?

Sgt Jeffrey Clish Fed's have kept rates artificially low for far too long...albeit it's great for the home buyers, but in the long run, it's going to hurt the country.

We have record federal and business debt. Consumer debt is close to records as well. I don't believe this will end soon as we will elect leadership that will ignore the problem and pass new entitlements.
Expect to break the old records plus much more. No action will be taken until market rates are forced up but catastrophic business or government failure.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but the statistics are telling. I found this on forbes:

I don't know him personally, but I like his research. You can draw you own conclusion but this makes sense to me and I'm sure we need to look into this more.
