The Great United States Credit Card

Well it looks like our house is going into another period of prosperity. I just got myself a brand new master card with a pretty hefty interest rate and I got about a $10k line of credit. I happen to feel like that is too much of a credit line for me. But it's there.

So here is what I have decided to do. Since I already have a few credit cards that are already maxed out, and I already stopped spending money because I ran out of credit, well things were really getting pretty crummy because I when I ran out of credit and I know that in the near future the bills will start coming in.

It's a shame that I had cut back on groceries,cut back how much I drive the car, got rid of the guy that cuts the lawn, and a got rid of a whole lot of stores that I usually do my business with . I guess the grocery store will survive,perhaps not. Don't have to worry about the gas station.But a lot of people are going to feel something because I had to stop spending.

So I have decided to take the new card and and max out that one too. But this time I am going to get everything that I always wanted and more and well might as well get as much credit as I can and take out a second mortgage and get some more stuff. I may even buy some stuff for my lousy friends on the other side of the street. Why not? Everyone knows that I will never be able to pay theses credit companies back at least in my lifetime .

But I sit here and scratch my head and know that day will come when the bills are due and boy is that going to be hell on Earth. I'll get thrown out of my house with no food, no hope, no nothing.To add salt to the wound, I don't think anyone will ever give me credit again.

Strange thing though. I know little if anything about economics, but why does our country sound like they are living the same way as I?

But it's not my fault. These people that lent me the money knew that I would never be able to pay them back.But they also knew that if stopped buying their products,

they would be having hell on Earth too.

But I hope that those nice credit companies keep giving me credit. And I hope the spending never stops. Because those nice owners of my credit companies that depend on my spending are going to catch hell if I stop spending.

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm Chinese? I suppose many Chinese people feel American too.
