Today's Hot Topic: Plastic Money
Consumer debt—NOT counting mortgages—reached (now just try to think of this) $2.56 TRILLION in April of this year. Both The Washington Post and The New York Times examined the situation in their respective editions today.
This evening, National Public Radio is addressing the health care issue. Something like one out of four people in Florida, in turns out, have great difficulty paying their health care costs. And in this case they all have insurance. It just doesn't cover enough.
In other news, a man who had been involved in an accident, climbed out onto the ledge of the fifth story of the George Washington University Hospital. Authorities spent four hours trying to talk the man down. At the end, he decided they were right and started to come down from his perch, but then he slipped and fell. Currently, he remains in the hospital in critical condition.
