I couldn't agree with you more. In the past 2 years it came to me as if it were a revelation that this country is I fear irrevocably obsessed with the FICO score and use of credit. I just don't understand the obsession and I believe the current economic crisis in this country speaks volumes as to why this obsession needs to stop. Big banks and government have far too much power over American's every day life and the quality of life is such that I contemplate emigration on a rather regular basis. This trend is very disturbing and only those with something to gain see otherwise. The new "American Way" has become success at any cost, especially the cost of others. Mr. ToughMoneyLove:
