I don't believe the country is broke, but I do believe if you don't rise to the top, you may see the day you will starve. There is quite a few out there with a spending problem. People don't seem to grasp the concept of saving for the future and how much money they lose in paying interest charges, especially buying things that they could get by without with money they don't have.
