Have you ever heard of the mahr-velous thing called the credit card?  It
boost short term consumption and fabulous profits from usury, and in a
long term transfers individual assets (in the form of home equity) to
the monied class, as most US-ers would mortgage their only asset - the
Amerikun dream house - rather than go through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
