I agree with PerryChase that “fiscal responsibility” is generally lower in poor Americans than poor people from other country.

Again, I would recommend that anyone making that statement should spend some time in Latin America. I might agree that poor Africans and Chinese probably manage their money better, simply because they have almost no money to manage. But visit one of the many casinos in Lima and you’ll see that they’re full of stupid poor people throwing their meager savings into slot machines just like in our casinos here.

People are the same everywhere, you see more waste here only because America is very wealthy relative to most other places…
