I'm not so sure about that. I mean, it seems that way, but, I think that these incentives make it seem "ok" to carry a debt and make humans more apt to spent money than if they pulled out cash and paid 100% at the time of purchase. I even have hesitations about using a credit card even though I pay it off at the end of each month. The credit industry in America is extraordinarily mature with tremendous powers on the human (American) psyche.
