The Vacant Servant
The problems of the national governments today with regards to their debts are imitated by many corporations, local governments, and even individual citizens; all of them are already facing a lot of pressures because they have fallen into deep debts and found it hard to get out from all of these liabilities. A common consumer in the United States, for instance, spends the remaining amount of his salary in paying his debts after he has bought the things that he needs; this also happened to other individuals and when the recession came, they could not pay the debts that have mounted up and so bankruptcies of many banks and corporations became common. According to the reports of Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, a typical working person earns about $800-$900 every month, but his debt usually mounts up to $10,000 to credit card companies, retail shops, banks, and gas companies; this is why a person is forced to live near the limits of his salary and spends almost everything that he earns from his work. The Tokyo Daily Yomiuri reported about a housewife who killed herself because she cannot deal with the pressures she was facing in paying the cash advance that she made from her work to build their house; the Milwaukee Journal, on the other hand, featured a group of prostitutes which included housewives from different communities who reason that they are using their income to buy the basic needs for their family. It is common for people today to spend for the things that they do not really need but then suffer for the consequences later.
