so tell me who is running these states where the people are surviving on credit cards to live?


how sustainable is that ?


When will you people stop lapping the pablum and admit your historically failed ideas just keep refailing and refailing.


when will you face the facts that this new form of conservatism is a complete failure in practice?

You knew all about maxing out credit cards on your spring breaks, didn't you?

Here's a progressive Jersey Shore bringing up the credit industry which is something the progressives use to control people which is why one of the first things Obama did in his bailouts was rescue the credit industry.

The progressive like this Jersey Shore knows that a country in debt stabilizes federal centralized control and grows central government. Alexander Hamilton, a federalist supported this.

Credit and the credit industry is not a conservative idea nor do conservatives support it. The neocons, the big government right wingers do but not conservatives.

As a side note, I really hate slide shows- can't they just list them? (sigh)

Interesting that they are just about all red states. Guess we need to keep sending them more and more of our tax money.

yeah but cut all those other taxes while we increase their share of the pot

No, they want the site clicks.

Of course looking at a state and saying 'its red' doesn't tell us who within the state is 'maxing' their cc's. Side note: cant help but notice that those 'maxed' cards on average are about 25% of the cards availability. Odd that.

Don't talk to me like that, you foul mouthed privileged little twit.

I told you Jersey Shore describes your behavior, it doesn't describe a geographical location.

I counted eight out of ten being southern states. Well boo hoo, this little nihilist bastard is slamming her little southern enemies again.

Even though the creditors are taking about as much money from all Americans as your love interest federal government is because they're both in bed with each other and keeping them in debt and in control by your ever failing empire.

You're about the dumbest little mind numbed nihilist in this place but you still know how important debt is when you want to control the citizenry.

I have a pretty good idea who.....lower middle class folk who don't earn enough to make ends meet and do earn enough to qualify for a card.

Very true... I meant as far as there political affiliations. Obviously not everyone in a 'red' state is a Rep nor everyone in a 'blue' state a Dem. Which is why I find it ridiculous to try and paint this as Rep vs. Dem.

Speaking from personal experience, young people can run them up pretty fast too... income relatively low and have all the expenses of starting out - apartment, car, living the fun life, maybe kids, etc. - along with perhaps not as much sense as when we get older.

yeah, I was stupid back then.

But certainly lower middle class or middle class can be hit by unexpected stuff, and without savings, need to charge it. A friend who is on social security disability and whose husband makes ok money, not great got hit with $5,000 in car expenses in a couple months (and no, she can't just take the bus where she lives); that along with owing taxes instead of getting a refund (because of changes to medical deductions) led them to have to get a new credit card...

So many of us are so close to falling over the cliff.

Political affiliation really doesn't mean much when.you have to feed a family two minimum wage salaries

While this isn't a blue/red issue in general - that the top states are red states; that those states tend to get more tax dollars into the state than they send out; those factors are pointing to the fact that something isn't working for them.... they need to jump on their politicians to improve their economy so they can do better.

I'm sure Dems are in debt in those states as are Repubs; but it's the political leadership that needs to step up and do something about the economies so they stop being net taker of tax dollars and so their people aren't in so much debt.

But, for this topic - poor people. Credit card debt sucks. And sometimes you just have to do it.

Oh - letter to Dear Prudence on slate.com this week - husband got laid off due to health reasons; they struggled; she's now working a programming job, but during the jobless time they couldn't afford dental and she lost her front teeth (or they're very rotten). Dentist said it would be $7,000; she's postponing it until she saves some money, but her co-workers are looking at her oddly.

This is one situation where I would say "charge it!" (after getting more estimates and hopefully getting cheaper estimates). It's not good for her professional image to have lousy teeth...
