just goes to show why some people are so poor  |
Now this is something we can work with... because it's been proven that people spend beyond their means and put themselves deeper in debt. Been that way since the beginning of currency really.
And as someone posted above.. I can't imagine how many people simply charged the stuff they bought..
Doesn't say a thing as to the state of the current economy though.
But at least 7 billion sounds like a really big number that people can use to try and prove that everything is A OK in the US...
