America's credit card debt is making headlines... The average American consumer has $6,360 in credit card debt, and the national total is $1.13 trillion, the highest in history. A professor of public policy studies at the University of Chicago and former acting chair of the White House Council of Economic Affairs said that while one trillion is overwhelming, "the reality is that this figure is expected to ascend." Additionally, the interest on these credit cards has risen. According to Bankrate, the average credit card charges 20.74% interest. This compounds and can easily snowball into an overwhelming burden that cripples Americans.
Eli, Matt, and Lee also discuss Tesla's new humanoid robots that are expected to replace human factory workers. Here is a video illustrating the robots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpraXaw7dyc
Is this the beginning of the robot apocalypse The panel disagrees. This is progress and the economy will benefit from the cut costs and increase in profits by using these new tools. Agree or disagree? Tell us in the comments!
We love answering your comments and questions. This week's comment was about capitalism.
