Biden’s approval rating at record low in new poll

Heard a speaker the other day talk about the disconnect between economic indicators, all showing a healthy economy, and Biden's low approval. He made the point, rather effectively, that this is a byproduct of late stage capitalism, driven by few guard rails against a growing wealth gap. I think that is part of it, but I also think Americans have once again become used to borrowing and spending beyond their means, and banks have been again lending to people at amounts they should not be. Greed strikes again.
 
I saw this week that for the first time in history, credit card debt topped One Trillion Dollars ($1T for those of you scoring at home, not $34T). It will be interesting to see how that all plays out over the next year or more.
