I don't know about that last comment (specnding more money than you have
puts you in debt).  Sometimes when I'm at a restaurant and I don't have
enough cash on me I put it on the good old plastic.  Now the deficit
is large, no sh=t!  But then again I often use my credit line on my
American Express card for the "larger" purchases.  So I get to pay
18% (or more? !!! ) on what I owe.  I knew that.  Just like the guys who
made our deficit knew they'd have to pay it back one day.

To continue the analogy,  I was able to buy a new computer on my credit,
and that allows me to make additional income, so I can pay off  my
debt faster.  If I hadn't spent the money, my income would be lower!
