We were mindfucked with mass consumption as a way of life to float the economic system, some never got over it. They will, it will be forced on them, but many are going in debt just to survive now and an illness is still the trigger for most losing homes. Voting alone will never turn this around.

Hello Sailor,
Interesting. Sounds like a lot of cash to sit on. That's not usually the wisest thing to do. Many good businesses and ventures would never make it off the ground without credit. Many workers would be out of a job without the ability of their employers to purchase assets on credit.

Hello Fentoine Lum,
The 1980 election represented a turning point in our thinking. Jimmy Carter said we should be more thrifty. Ronald Reagan said the heck with that, let's spend like crazy! That's when people began buying on credit, running up card debt, and then it shifted into: "Hey! You can wipe out your card debt with a refi on your home! It's like MAGIC."
