Stats show that credit card per household peaked with the Bush Depression, then went down every year until 2017. Debt went up from 2017 until 2020, then it dropped when people used the Trump stimulus money to pay off some of that debt.

No spin necessary, I just refer to the facts...
It dropped after COVID when people used Trump's stimulus money to pay off credit card debt.
If that's not enough for you...
Americans' total credit card balance is $1.115 trillion in the first quarter of 2024, according to the latest consumer debt data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That's down from $1.129 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2023, which remains the highest balance since the New York Fed began tracking in 1999. https://www.lendingtree.com...tatistics/
All signs point to a strong, healthy economy...

A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia provides a glimpse into how Americans are dealing with credit card debt - and the picture is pretty bleak.
The phrase "series high" appears again and again throughout the short analysis, underscoring the fact that credit card balances, delinquencies and utilization rates have reached the highest levels since the Philadelphia Fed began tracking this data in 2012.

*TIP I discovered years ago. In the media buzz.
Book as early as possible. Get on a price drop list with all airlines.

The majority of those travelers are using credit cards. And most of them can't afford to pay it back.
Source?
Your last fake news on this proved that national credit card debt had gone up at a lower rate than inflation, which is the opposite of your claim.
Facts also show that luxury spending had recovered by 2021, exceeding 2019 levels.
It's simple... the economy is in great shape, it's just people that fall for fake news that think otherwise.

Shame on you Anti for prioritizing the economy and travel over saving the planet from climate change.lol
Tourism is not just a victim of global warming - it also contributes to the problem. Tourism alone is responsible for 8% of the world's carbon emissions.
As more and more people travel each year, this footprint is only growing.
When we travel, carbon emissions are generated throughout our trips. While flying is the largest source of these emissions, other activities, such as using the AC in hotels or taking a boat ride, produce CO2 as well.

Not to mention the near record low unemployment of 3.9%... "the 27th consecutive month the unemployment rate has remained below 4.0%."

The record was broken 6 months ago just after Thanksgiving, it was almost broken again last Thursday, then it was actually broken on Friday...
A record was broken ahead of the Memorial Day weekend for the number of airline travelers screened at U.S. airports, the Transportation Security Administration said Saturday.
More than 2.9 million travelers were screened at U.S. airports on Friday, surpassing a previous record set last year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, according to the transportation security agency. "Officers have set a new record for most travelers screened in a single day!" the TSA tweeted. "We recommend arriving early." The third busiest day on record was set on Thursday when just under 2.9 million travelers were screened at U.S. airports.
So much for that pretense of a bad economy...
