50% of Americans Couldn't Come Up with $2000

This'll be good.

It's like someone telling me how financial aid works and what the regs are because something happened one time to them or to their friend's dog and that is how it works because that is how it works.

GO J!

I predict that the answer will be somewhere in the middle: they can do it, but don't always do it.

Well, in my experience, I have cards I don't use, and I don't pay squat for them. So right there, the "FALSE" claim is wrong. I haven't been contacted by anyone that they are going to cancel my cards.

I don't carry a balance on the card I do use. I imagine the card companies don't like me much, but they do make a little bit off of each transaction through merchant fees. Certainly enough to cover postage on the bill.

The initial charge of FALSE was not based on what happened to him or them or his friends, but the old "Google is your friend" defense.

Pet peeve - Google is not your friend. It is a tool and only as friendly as your interest in using it wisely and thoroughly, not superficially and selectively.

I'm holding the "my friend's dog ate the evidence" in reserve.
