right i am against it, espcailly for college studetns who end up or wind up over 15k debt by the time they finish collge. Many people not educated to use it wisely, this is why we are in Trillion dollar debt bc we spend foolishly and unwise. Early days true conservatives people did not belive in those. People want want want want stuff, end up buying craps, then go broke, then they keep craps. ONly thing I can say credit card is good ONLY if EMERGENCY to pay doctor for your life.
