  • Time to throw it back on the credit cards!! How else do you buy on line stuff besides Paypal ?

    Plus pay it off with cheaper money down the road...Additionally some people don't have ANY avaiable cash anyway.

    This was no surprise!

  • Consumer credit going up is good. Only zealots with intellectual problems believe otherwise. Demand is increasing, bodes well for the US.
