Debts, Debts, Debts For A Prosperous Nation
The Wall Street Journal notes rising debt as incomes and prices climb. A Chicago steelworker earning over $5,000 faces debt despite higher pay, while a Detroit couple with $6,800 income trims entertainment and saves nothing. A San Francisco stenographer stays $50 behind, and a $20,000 yearly executive carries no debts beyond mortgage and charges. Savings rise due to debt repayments, yet many Americans live with tighter budgets, finding cars scarce and prices high.
