   Suppose you bought everything on credit.   
   Until you had no more credit to buy anthing more.   
   What happens is you keep paying your bill, but   
   creditor gives you more credit so you can buy more   
   stuff. Each time you get close to your limit   
   your creditor gives you more credit. That way you   
   can keep buying stuff for as long as you like.   
      
   Multiply that by the number of credit cards you have.   
   And then think about how much yearly income you are making.   
   What happens when you are paying out more than you are taking in?   
      
   That is what you call deficit spending.   
      
   Which is not a bad thing, when done properly.   
      
   Spend now, pay back later. Kind of like buying a car.   
   Or a house. Few people can just walk in and pay in full   
   for expensive stuff that takes most folks years or decades   
   to pay for.  Without credit, this country would not be the   
   same as what it is.   
      
   Free college tuition should be available for all. Nobody should   
   be forced to put themselves in debt for decades in order to be able   
   to become gainfully employed. Besides, what folks pay back in taxes   
   more than whatever cost is provided by the state for that education.   
      
   How much is a college education worth? Can someone earn   
   a living by flipping hamburgers at some fast food joint?   
   I don't think so. Making college tuition unaffordable is   
   not the answer. Best thing to do is have free tuition for   
   all. Private colleges and universities can charge all   
   they want, as wealthy parents can easily afford the cost   
   of sending their kids to school.
