Also when credit was cheap they gave credit to anyone. So people had flat screen tv's ,fancy shoes(you dont know if they are knock offs) and then default on it. my wifes sister was working at subway making $6 a hr and they gave the kid a credit card with a 15k line of credit.
its all right wing crap the unemployed are just lazy drinking and doing drugs but then they will talk about christian values. lol

I bet your mom and mine would get along pretty well.
My mom grew up poor, but didn't know she was poor. She made sure her kids had what they needed before she thought of herself. Now she has everything, no worries except that the money in her savings is not paying out like they did a few years ago because of lower interest rates. Her biggest thrill is finding a bargain at a garage sale. Most of her furniture has been bought used and refinished, it's almost all antiques that are pretty valuable. There's one piece I really want.
She can't understand how things have changed, how people can get into such deep debt and then whine about the payments. She always paid for things as she went. in 95 she bought a new honda, she paid cash. She does love that the newer TV's are easier to move, LOL

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
