One of the drawbacks of the cashless society is we tend to spend a bit more -- not feeling the greenbacks somehow abstracts the notion of what we're paying and makes it a bit easier to rationalize the larger sums, I think. So we swipe and we spend maybe a few bucks more than we like. Happens to the best of us.

Unless you're Dale's daughter, who went a little nutty at CVS and, if Visa is to be believed, spent enough to cover the national debt...two thousand times over. Final tally is $23 quadrillion, or $23 million-millionbillion, if you like. Oh, and a $20 negative balance fee.

Someone at Visa hit too many buttons on the numeric keypad.

That's the fiscal version of wharrgarbl right there. Or it's the notes to "All Along the Watchtower."
