Tucker's SCARY SCARY Fable

 We're half-fans of Tucker Carlson.  His interviews of certified Crazies are.....not a good thing.

Nor is this silliness:

 

Americans’ collective credit card debt soared to yet another record high on Tuesday, climbing 4.2% from last year to $1.29 trillion in total, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s latest household debt report.


The average credit card balance per consumer now stands at $6,678,
up 2.4% year over year, a separate quarterly credit industry insights report from TransUnion found. The number of people with credit cards also rose 2% to 178 million, and the average interest rate on a new credit card is 24%, according to LendingTree data....

 

OMG!!!  CALL OUT THE ARMY!!!!  DOOM!  DOOM!!!! DOOM!!!!!!

 

Careful readers will note that inflation over the last year has been about 4%, meaning that the DOOM DEBT INCREASE Tucker writes about is..............nothing at all--and the "average" debt is LESS than inflation for the same period--which, to anyone with common sense, is good news.


We are NOT fans of credit cards.  But they can be useful.  Tucker's silliness?  Not always useful.

I find 8 out 10 podcast to be decent
Some I just looked at the topic and don’t listen
But there are a few home runs…..

And it is own brand.
He is not on the Fox News plantation

Hallelujah

Every time I listen to mainstream news, I feel soiled

I have to go to the shower and grab a bottle of soap and scrub and scrub and scrub To get the filth off of me

Go Tucker!
