Many people point to the fact that America is running up way too much debt in Government spending. On top of that, people point to the $700 Billion Bailout plan (some call it a "rescue" plan) as yet another big example of how Government can't control its own debt system. But is Joe Six Pack being fair?
The one thing Americans aren't doing is looking in the mirror. The majority of Americans have been drunk on credit over the last several years. From housing to credit cards, we are a buy now and pay later society. Problem is, the bill collector is knocking on the door - in a big way. American Express, MasterCard, Visa and a host of other credit card banks will most likely be the next victims of the economic crunch. Millions of Americans have been exposed to be over their limit on the size of their house payment. And now, they will begin to get exposed on the amount of credit card debt they're carrying.
So the next time you point the finger at the Government and how much debt they are racking up, look in the mirror and ask yourself how high your credit card bills are.
