Sad that the only way they can conceive of "growth" is by creating even more debt-strapped debt slaves to spur more "retail" buying.

What about making things and exporting them?

An economy based on a perpetual circle of consumer debt in service to consumer spending (largely on imported items) NOT SUSTAINABLE. Did we not learn this lesson in 2008?

This comes from the fraud of “I need to build credit so I’m getting a credit card.”

I use a credit card for everything. And they HATE me. I pay it off and collect all the rewards. I had some irresponsible person in the shop a while back who is trying to “rebuild” credit by applying for high interest credit cards. Stupid.

Pay no Attention, all of this is normal and expected with a Fiat Currency.
