SHady credit card practices aren't helping America as a whole, but Congress keeps catering to the banks that do it.

My husband works in the housing industry, in North Georgia, and while he is busier than ever designing extremely large homes (5,000 square feet and up) the designers that do the average houses don't have much work at all - especially in and around Atlanta, even after a reduction in work force.

That says something...not sure what, but I suspect it confirms that only the rich are getting richer....and they are building custom homes. JMO.
