uh, how much of that 10+ billion was cash sales [?]

What difference does that make? Even if you are implying that some of the 10+ billion won't be paid back, one could look at credit card default rates for an idea of the figure.

I slough those people off the second they utter their “ talk the economy down” nonsense. They`reeither democrats or easily led by the pitchfork and torches crowd.

Fact is the data doesn`t lie, sales are up and the dominant media, as usual, got it wrong.

They failed in their doom and gloom propaganda in regards to Iraq ans the nation building taking place there so now they`ve taken their propaganda war directly to the US economy. After all, there`s an election coming.

It isn't the issue of whether it gets paid back, it would be the fact that consumers are taking on more debt. Essentially doing the same thing we curse the Federal Government for dozens of times a day on here. If even 1/2 of the quantity is being charged, it means the consumer is getting 5 billion of "stuff", but paying what 2 or 3 times that for it in the long run.

It's not gloom and doom, it's people spending money they don't have.
