Trump Aide Claims Americans 'Spending More Money on Everything' Shows They're 'Optimistic' About Economy

[slightlv]

6. Can there be anyone that incredibly stupid about life, money, and the real cost of living???

People aren't buying special items on credit cards... like 70" tvs... you used to do that when you felt good about the economy and knew you could afford the payments.

People are LIVING off credit cards now. The cards pay for groceries, gas, medicine. These are not luxury, specialty items, idiot. And it means there's going to be a world of bankruptcies heading at us because people are having to make ends meet not only with whatever piddling check they get, but also with the credit cards to take up the slack.

I detest living like this. Never did it in the past; makes no good sense to me now. But it is keeping my head above water (barely). Although with low rates you can charge, it takes 3 of them for me to do it. It really makes me feel bad... depressed... humiliated. Of course, I'm sure this idiot and his master absolutely intend these feelings for us.
