America’s Debt Party: Spend Now, Default Later!
Only in America could household debt soar to $18.39 trillion and still have people cheering about a "strong stock market." Meanwhile, the government thinks calling a 4.4% delinquency rate "elevated" is some kind of sugar-coated progress. Credit card balances hit a whopping $1.21 trillion, and student loans just keep climbing. As Joelle Scally put it, 'this quarter's flow of household debt into serious delinquency was mixed,' which basically means real Americans are drowning in debt while virtue signaling elites sip their lattes. Back in my day we called this reckless spending—now it's an economic rollercoaster with no seatbelts!
