Well, the other side of the coin is that people want instant gratification. They charge stuff that they can''t afford. We are bombarded with TV adds 24 hours a day trying to sell us stuff that we don''t really need.
And the credit cards get used to their limit to pay for this stuff.

Here is interesting detail about your "investment" in Neil Bush''s $1 billion mistake.

And to think George Bush, Jr. has doubled the national debt in six years! Clearly, a horrendous talent for creating financial debacles runs in the Bush family...

Will we be able to afford the interest after the Bush brothers are finished with America?

The CBS article notes a "retail crunch", symptomized by commercial bankruptcies. But this event may turn out only the first of a massive series of aftershocks from the housing scam.

Note the word "scam"-- already investigators pursue the notion instability in asset valuation by some of the biggest Wall Street players is a product of criminal greed-- ie. fraud by banks supposed "too large to fail".

But Fed Chairman Bernanke will suffer nobody to spoil the Wall Street party, or cast blame where it belongs. Instead, Bernanke is fully occupied whispering "taxpayer bailout" to congress, even as he makes soothing public statements for damage control.

Taxpayers are still paying for the billion-ddollar Silverado scandal of the 1990''s under Neil Bush! Taxpayer bailout is not a remedy pleasing to anybody but the well-off culprits for this huge financial disaster.

Thanks to the Bush regime, he signed the bill making it EASIER for companies to file bankruptcy and harder for everyone else.
