American Credit Card Debt Soars Past $1 Trillion

New York Post: The credit card debt held by US shoppers surpassed more than $1 trillion for the first time ever as high inflation continues to drive up costs, according to a report published on Tuesday by the New York Federal Reserve. Credit card balances grew by $45 billion in the second quarter of this year — rising from $986 billion at the end of the first quarter to $1.03 trillion by the end of the most recent three-month period (New York Post).

CNN: Earlier Tuesday, Bank of America reported that more people were tapping their 401(k) accounts because of financial distress. The number of people who made a hardship withdrawal during the second quarter surged from the first three months of the year to 15,950, an increase of 36% from the second quarter of 2022 (CNN).

CNN’s Jake Tapper: “I feel like I’ve been noting this for three years — President Biden is out there heralding such and such, and the American people disapprove overwhelmingly! Three years in, we’re still having this conversation”


Over and over it has been pointed out that people have to spend 10k more per year now to make ends meet. How many poor and lower middle class got a 10k raise this year, or the last year or the one before that??

And it ALL started with one thing, Biden's war on f****l f**ls. We have the capability to reverse this, and in a clean way as well. But Biden and his l*****t i***ts want poor people to buy an electric car and save the planet. And how do we produce all that electricity? That's right, by burning f****l f**ls.

The psychobabble of the left has infected the west. We do not have much time left before the dollar collapses and we lose everything.

Thet is called Bidenomics Joe is so proud of. Biden has bankrupted the United States of America, to convert to Socialism and finally to Marxism. We are halfway there.

Most of Trumps lies are harmless. I don’t like him anyway. Biden has lied his entire career to advance himself. Let Biden explain it.

What causes the increase of the credit card debts.

The income of people is not sufficient to cover the high cost of inflation.
Thus, a deficit spending by using the Credit Cards.

https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/research/2023/20230808

Total debts of the entire household is $17.06 trillion. broken down as follows:
CATEGORY QUARTERLY CHANGE * (BILLIONS $) ANNUAL CHANGE**
(BILLIONS $) TOTAL AS OF Q2 2023 (TRILLIONS $)
Mortgage Debt (-) $30 (+) $627 $12.01 Trillion
Home Equity Line Of Credit (+) $1 (+) $21 $0.34 trillion
Student Debt (-) $35 (-) $20 $1.57 trillion
Auto Debt (+) $20 (+) $80 $1.58 trillion
Credit Card Debt (+) $45 (+) $144 $1.03 trillion
[/b]Other (+) $15 (+) $57 0.53 trillion
Total Debt (+) $16 (+) $909 $17.06 Trillion

------------------------------------------
Our current national debts and interests incurred on those debts as follows.

Currently our National Debt is $32.61 trillion.
Please note that the national debts don't only increase when we spend and borrow. The interests charge to the Debts are added to the debts every end of the fiscal year.

For example:
The accrued interest for 2021 was $352 billion.
The accrued interest for 2022 was $426 billion.
For 2023 by end of quarter 2 is $640 billion. An increase of 33%.


Why did interest expenditures increase? Every time, the interest rates is raised by Powell, that rate is calculated based on the accumulated Treasury bills. Treasury Bills changes often. Computer calculates every time the figures change. Unlike bonds which last 10 to 30 years.
That is why by raising interest rates there are so many economic activities affected. Raising interest rates does not actually lower inflation. Fact is in most cases it increases.

Why is the increase in interest expenditure added to the debts is negative to our economy? Because it erodes our economic needs due to the rise of the cost versus income earned.

Please note that President Biden continues to destroy the US economy so as his assigned Cabinet officials in the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve Banks, and the 13 other Cabinet members. This in addition to the Democrats in Congress like Pelosi. I think they have specific purpose, why they do the massive spending.

By the time a GOP administration takes over, it will have very difficult tasks to fix the damages. But Trump is a great economist and I trust he could fix it.
---------------------
NOTES: Please don't rely on those figures at Google because they differ due to varied dates they were presented.

===================
This liar Biden depends on our oil and gas usage from the enemy countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela. Please note that energy production on these countries is very toxic for atmosphere/pollution.
Unlike the US we have very sophisticated and clean energy production. Except Biden wants to use the foreign countries.
{C*****e C****e is a h**x. Like the C***d19 masking babies is a ho

Saudi Arabia has limited oil production that is why prices of oil and gas have gone up. Thus, inflation also went up again.

In addition to depending on foreign countries for energy supply when war is inevitable, we will have no power to fight. Thus, Biden surrenders to China his buddy.

When Trump comes along, we will be energy independent, and perhaps could supply Europe.

Ok it's c*******m, albeit not as originally conceived. Ideally the people are supposed to have a say in the policies that govern their lives, and hold a collective stake in the ownership of things, making the profit-motive obsolete. Of course this will never happen in our lifetime. What we have instead is closer to f*****m, where the state and Big $ collude to dominate everything, exploit and profit off of it all, even as they blame marginalized groups with no political power for any problem.

Not in practice and policy, no. They pay lip-service to traditional progressive values, but don't back it up with much. The identity-politicking is a smoke-screen, a distraction.
