This is a major story?

"Come Jan. 1, Americans plan to say goodbye to credit card debt and hello to healthy savings accounts, a new report released today shows. About one-third of American workers surveyed plan to cut credit card balances and beef up savings." Des Moines Register, December 3, 2008

One-third? Only one-third of Americans plan to say goodbye to credit card debt? And not until Jan 1, because of course they need to use those cards during Christmas. So basically this means that the majority of Americans still don’t get it.
