People that are left in the street with nothing are turning to the only way they have to survive... their credit cards. When they find out they have no jobs to go to and they are unable to pay back their debt, many will be forced to go bankrupt. And that will not make them ill prepared, careless bums trying to eat at the tit of America, just people in trouble through no fault of their own.
Of course with bush about to sign the new bankruptcy law for this group of leeches who help control his strings, the credit card companies will be first in line for their money, even if it means mortgages and health insurance premiums cannot be paid.
You know these guys are opening the Champagne.
