The money goes "puff" around $1 billion a month in Afghanistan, and almost double on "home security" at airports and high rise buildings etc. the rest to pay for bills on old credit card with new credit cards and the remaining to pay for day to day life via new credit card debt, refinancing your mortgage or home equity loans .....and the list goes on. Remember how many people are not working but worked before and have credit in good standing ? or all those 0% interest deals or all those big $$$ deals buy now and start paying in 6 months.
