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! Ross M. Greenberg @ NYU ----> allegra!cmcl2!acf4!greenber <----
