MSNBC had this to say about the new hell that credit cards are promoting.

The other day, someone compared the domestic credit card problems to the works of economic hitmen ("Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.")

While folks like Ms. Warren suggest that tweaking the law would solve the problem, I tend to be more cynical and wonder if the government is in cahoots with the credit industry and secretly wants to "destroy the middle class"

The truth about "governments," I guess, is that you "Can't Live With 'em and You Can't Live Without 'em."

Charles Hugh Smith had this to say on his blog:

They go From bondage to spiritual faith

From government dependency to bondage

God help us, each and every one of us! And, please: "just say no to debt."
