The average guy has almost $15k in debt and only $3k in savings, and 16% of guys rarely pay off their credit card bills.

According to a brand new ABC News/Washington Post poll, 80 percent of Americans say that they are either dissatisfied or angry with the government. Americans are deeply divided about what the solutions to [...]
From NYT:
