American debt

The Roaring 20's are when many Americans begin to rack up that debt they may never pay off in a lifetime.






It may be that once the government realizes how much money is lost due to poor lending practices, that U.S public high schools will require a thorough course on credit industry pratices.

Anything less will not change American's consumer practices. The past generation of parents and consumers have proven that education is needed on a national scale in this critical area. It is a national security issue when we consider who finances American debt.
