Credit card defaults have reached their highest levels since 2010, with TransUnion reporting an average credit card debt of $6,300 per American. In the first nine months of 2024, lenders wrote off $46 billion in unpaid balances, a 50% increase from the previous year. The Federal Reserve noted credit card debt soared to a record $1.17 trillion, contributing to nearly $18 trillion in total household debt. Rising defaults are attributed to persistent inflation and high interest rates, with more than one-third of Americans accruing additional debt during the holiday season, averaging $1,181 in new charges.

    That’s what happens when no one actually has wealth and is just kicking the can down the road with debt. Plenty more where this came from.

    It’s interesting what news sources shared that. I figured it would be even in this instance.

    Let’s not forget the government failing its own audit and having the audacity to send our taxes to fund a whole separate government and genocidal combat in a part of the world where they still live without power.
