Thanks. To be honest, that really does seem to be at the heart of everything: it's okay to be deep in debt. It's okay to spend $1 today and pay back $2 tomorrow. It's a despicable paradox. Things shouldn't cost more than people have. If I make $80,000 a year (the upper part of middle class), why should I pay $30,000 for an average car? Because I can afford the car in 3 years? That's insane.
The debt system, but more importantly widespread acceptance of the debt system, is the biggest economic con job in history. It's fucking brilliant.
