ReplyDeleteThat is, Americans in debt bondage are an additional $791 million in debt.
Not too shabby.
Assets - Liabilities = (Not necessarily bondage). But if you're into that sort of economic bondage thing, a snarl, a sneer, a whip and a chain, all the more power to ya. The Libertarian left totally fine with whatever you get up to in your economics.
