Recovery could be rocky as demand for financing grows into 'wall of debt'

The Washington Post reports:
It has been dubbed the "wall of debt."

A massive wave of borrowing will start cresting this year when the U.S. and European governments sell an estimated $4 trillion in new bonds. The surge will course through the world financial system for several years as countries, corporations and banks borrow record amounts of money to repair the damage from the financial crisis and pay back loans from the boom that preceded it.
