"Overall household indebtedness is up from $7 trillion to almost $10 trillion since 2000. On this sum, we estimate, the American consumer has an annual interest bill of more than $500 billion; a sum, by the way, that vastly exceeds his current income growth." —Kurt Richebacher

Have you three fools, Singer, Barry, and george, no concept of the web of life? This is killing so many levels of flora and fauna in the food chain that everyone (including those in your puny part of the planet) will be affected.

At least make an effort to understand what’s going on.
