1. Today's consumers easy access to credit cards. With that access consumers put the higher balances on their cards instead of asking for higher pay at their jobs. What happens when their balances get too high? Bankrupcy.

Anyone else have any theories as to why wages won't keep pace with inflation like what happended in the 70's
