Written by someone who left their name as "I'm not bitter or anything":
"Our economy, the largest in the world, is driven by consumer spending. I say that you and Dave Ramsey have crusaded us right into a recession with your message of paying off your debts instead of taking that vacation and buying a 60″ flat screen when you get home - all courtesy of the Visa card.
I hope you're happy with yourself and can sleep at night as my 401k has now become a 301k."
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm …

Well, the domestic economy, being so dependent on consumer spending has become more like a... cancer in my opinion. And here we are, trying to keep it alive.... (Except us I guess.) Personally, I think it would be best to just let the cancerous part die off, and revamp our economy to one that relies more on financial responsibility....
But of course, I highly doubt that I am the voice of the majority so....

I think the current level of debt spending spree is not very sustainable. So um, I think it's not your fault. LOL.
I guess the irony is we wouldn't be in such a spot if it hadn't become the norm to live beyond one's means. So I think the "not bitter or anything" person is more to blame, if anyone is.
