In the #BadEconomy, the question they are not asking is HOW they are paying for it. Because there was a story or two recently about Americans saving less money overall, so I am speculating likely on credit, and sooner or later, the collector will come.

@bloodravenlib How to save money, when you’re barely scraping by? It’s ugly Capitalism. The thing is if I was scraping by, the last thing I’d do is put my trust in a bunch of Fascists wearing Patriot clothing (#GOP) or the #TheHeadLiar Sociopath (Dumpster Fire). 🤔

Oh I hear ya on trying to save when it's scraping by time.
