Why would any parent want their child to be using fake credit cards at age 5?

When we were kids, I remember toy cash registers. They had plastic money in them and you could learn how to make change--addition and subtraction, if you will.
I saw an ad recently for a play “ATM”, where you could insert your play “debit card” and get cash out! (Today’s equivalent of the toy cash register, no doubt!)

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

"Consumerism”?

Leftie political philosophy, from a DU commenter:

It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. RUMOR IS TRUTH. The modern laws of media hype and political warfare have a useful tenet: Repeat ANYTHING or raise false concern over ANYTHING and it is likely to be planted in the conscious/subconscious of many voters.

I collect all the fake credit cards from junk mail and allow the child care kids to play store with them. It only took but a few minutes of observation to change the credit cards to debit cards only.
LOL, I don’t think the Barbie credit card is a wise move ... fact it’s rather stupid.
