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.
The sky is always falling in Tucker's world. Always.
