From Think Progress: A new report issued recently by the Center for American Progress warned that, “as borrowing in the mortgage market slows, credit card borrowing is accelerating — a dangerous trend because borrowers still face weak income growth.

The piece noted there is a “credit card binge across the nation as people use their plastic to stay financially afloat.”
