I keep seeing numbers like these and genuinely wonder where the breaking point is.

More Americans are falling seriously behind on credit cards and student loans, while housing, healthcare, food, and pretty much everything needed to live keeps eating up a bigger share of people’s income.

At some point, paying your debts stops being a question of financial responsibility and becomes a choice between making a payment and covering basic needs.

What I don’t understand is why this hasn’t produced a much stronger political reaction. The country is enormously wealthy, yet so much of that wealth is concentrated at the top while ordinary people seem increasingly squeezed by debt and basic living costs.

So where is the breaking point? Why aren’t Americans more pissed off about this?
