Kinda like the glass is half full. I see as they want to get out from under that debt burden for things other than necessities (house/car etc). Revolving credit is unsecured credit.

Back to made in America...When the TV signal went digital I had to get one of those coverter boxes for the TV in the guest bedroom. When I was hooking it up I noticed that TV was a GE made in Portsmouth VA. It's over 35 years old. Was my first remote controlled TV! It has out lived dozens of the made in Korea TVs. I have a chest freezer in the Morton barn that was made in the 50s. It was there when I bought this farm (30+ years ago), probably a 1955 model Fridgidare. It has never been serviced or even required an ounce of freon since I have lived here. I am on my third Fridge in the house.
