Speak for yourself.
I lived in the U.S. until 2002. I had zero debt.
I still have zero debt.
Don't project your own "out-of-control housewife
with a credit card" approach to living onto others
unless you're sure it applies.
One of the reasons I *left* the U.S. is that I saw
all this coming. It's the result of a government
*and* a people who lived the way you described.
If you're one of them, include yourself in your
"300 million Americans" figure, but leave me out.
I resent being put in the same category as idiots.
Hear, hear, Barry.
You nailed it--this is Projection City here...
Apparently BB spent like a drunken sailor,
with no thought for the future, so she wants
to convince herself "everyone else" did as
well. I guess it's just one more way of not
taking responsibility.
But plenty of others didn't.
