Most spending is consumer driven, towards 70 % as I recall. The wealth effect runs rampant and credit is pretty cheap. I have credit card offers on cards that used to charge 19%, giving me checks to pay off other balances for a lifetime fixed rate of 6.9%, unsecured. I dug into these a bit and found out I really don't have to pay off another credit card balance .... I can actually have them put it in my checking account! Do whatever I want with it. One even told me to take it and invest in the stock market! -g-

IceShark,
On this note, I just received, not just another credit card offer, but the offer for a card with a $5000 advance, with the check enclosed and written out to me.

I've gotten plenty of credit card offers before, but this was a first.
