That is the same policy Bush has! "We'll just Print More Money or borrow it from SS and then print more money to pay it back!

This is STUPIDITY to the 10th POWER!

 One of the perfect logic indeed

 Yes, and why people are so miserable with all that they have.

 I agree, people are always looking forsomething else better or something else to impress their neighbor.

 Yes seems that way someones wants something done faster cheaper easier... So they make something that does that....it'll sell.

 I agree, we live in a society where being a consumer is the ideal. More is always better, super size everything, we need to stop thinking only of ourselves and what we WANT and start thinking of what we and those around us actually NEED. I agree that we can live and enjoy and all of that but the gross overload of things and more and better gets old fast and leads us to depression and unnecessary competition. We shop around to find the "BEST" and next week we are terribly disappointed because something "BETTER" has come to light. It's stuff people, stop watching tv and find that dusty old leather ball (the one without the computer that tells you how fast you throw) pick up your cell phone and find the "call" button and type in your buddy's phone number (oh wait you have a special button for that so you don't actually know the number) and ring them up and tell them to come over and play a ball game with the family instead of sitting at home texting while watching tv and playing computer games.

I digress... Put the credit cards away and enjoy what you have. The economy will survive, matter of fact why don't you try spending that extra money on a cook book and a few seed packets and grow some vegetables, keep yourself going too.

 I think that is true, in fact let me take this one more step this keeps our economy going, but this is also what keeps the American families in sky high credit card debt..I absolutely agree with soundman.

 I don't think that, that is the exact reason, but I think it is part of the reason.
