Has personal debt outweighed terrorism as the number one priority in your life/concern.?

Debt, Not Terrorism, Top Economic Risk By DAN SEYMOUR,AP Posted: 2007-08-27 10:55:23 NEW YORK (Aug. 27) - Bad credit has supplanted terrorism as the gravest immediate risk threatening the economy, a key national research group reported Monday. Borrowers' withering ability to pay their bills and the subsequent fallout in the credit markets this summer topped the list of short-term risks on peoples' minds, according to a survey of 258 members conducted by the National Association of Business Economics. NABE, a Washington-based association, said 32 percent of its surveyed members cited loan defaults and excessive debt as their biggest near-term concern. Only 20 percent of members cited defense and terrorism as their biggest immediate worry, down from 35 percent when the survey was last conducted in March. Credit risk also topped gas prices, inflation and government spending.

1. Terrorism is a problem? Well I guess Big Brother is doing it's job.
2. Terrorism has one job, to make us afraid. I do not give in. Debt is far scarier.

4. Speaking for myself, personal debt has ALWAYS outweighed the threat of terrorism! For the first time since we have been married, hubby and I are free and clear currently of all credit, car payments and only have the monthly expenses. I have never considered terrorism high on my list of worries. I understand and can symphathize with you people who live in and around New York though.
