Public Recognizes Debt as a Fast Growing Problem in U.S.

Press release: “Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and Public Opinion Strategies will release a report today, co-sponsored by the Center for American Progress, that reveals broad public concern about the growing problem of household debt in America. The national survey results…show that Americans have considerable consensus about how to address this issue…Ultimately, respondents hold individuals responsible for their personal finances, more so than lenders or changes in the economy. This belief leads the American people to support policy solutions such as savings incentives, financial education, and ending abusive practices that enable borrowers to meaningfully exercise personal responsibility.”
