Hmm - thanks. I agree with "meh". The rise in debt may be a sign of optimism - people believe they will be able to pay it back in the future. This works as long as the economy keeps going well. If Trump is elected, I predict a bad economic future for the world. I am planning another essay on this, but basically, much of the US knows that Trump is incompetent and will use the office solely for his one purposes with little concern for anyone else. Since the US is the only superpower, and is needed to keep things stable on the planet, Trump as President means the US is no longer rational, Russia / China / North Korea can do whatever they want, and the future looks bleak.

No comments yet?&? I think the use of the word “meh” merits them all by itself. As usual, I agree with all your thoughts. I just want to inject a baddie. Credit card and other debts. I think we hit a few bad records this year. Will there be a latent reaction impacting the elections or is it just another “meh”.
