I read a report last week that stated that americans have the worst debt ratios in its history at this time. This was spurred on by the events of 9/11. US govt after this horrible event when the market was tumbling pushed for people to spend to keep the economy alive. Pres even gave tax breaks, which effected the upperclass far more, as an incentive. First time in our history that there was tax breaks during time of war. Interest rates fell so people could afford bigger houses or pull equity and remodeled though many pissed away on vacations and depreciating assets like cars, bikes, etc... Many unfortunate souls signed up for adjustable rates so they could afford more at the time. Problem now is interest rates have gone up.

Financially a whole lot of people are in trouble and I would bet a good portion are those sweet loving porn buyers we all care about.

Maybe I should change my marketing tactics:

"You should buy my porn because the stress of figuring out how to pay for it is bad for your health. Relieve your stress and buy my porn! It'll make you feel good, and your health will improve." |loony|

Thats a fresh idea I think MML was trying to talk about at OTB before dropping the mic in the toilet |jester|

:D :D :D :D
