"a healthy rise in credit use.."
No such thing.
Other than a mortgage, a DIRE emergency or maybe a car credit is a bad deal. An awful lot of Americans are up to their eyeballs in massive consumer debt with nothing to show for it but minimum payments and a lousy FICO score. Bankruptcies and foreclosures are ugly and all too frequent.

Yeah. I snorted when I read that too. Amazing how little regard there is for prudence anymore.
