    Have they gone completely mad?  And why isn't this in the front page of every news organization?

     

    America, forget what you are told about saving for the future... follow the example set by your leaders and spend with wreckless abandon.  If you run out of credit, just get new credit cards... it's like free money.  Don't worry about how to pay for it... just live life to the fullest and, hopefully, after you die, someone will clean up your mess.

     

    Have a happy holiday... go out there and spend like crazy.
