People we do not have a shortage of goods to buy, the general population is so deep in debt they cannot afford to buy.

The average American household’s credit card debt in 1990 was $2,966. In 2007 it was $9,840.

Free trade is not the reason Americans are in debt. That is a complete lie.

Americans are in debt due to materialism and the breakdown of morality.

Too many people want "things" they cannot afford or just want to keep up with friends.

THAT is why Americans are in debt.
