Ler's All Charge Like It's 2004!

One day I think I get it, the next day I don't. Our financial mess---WHY is it a good thing to have people buying stuff using credit cards that they couldn't otherwise afford? I thought we were supposed to tighten our belts? I thought biting off more than we could chew got us into this crap hole? Are we supposed to save? Then why only give us 1-2% interest on safe CDs?? You, and by you I mean our financial wizards and government types, want us to buy Ford cars yet you know many are without jobs, so you entice with "no interest" "$4,000 cash back" and well, I don't get it. Excuse me while I hunt up my old piggy bank.
