Um ... yes. In fact, so do many Americans. We buy houses and cars we can't afford on credit. We borrow money we don't have (from a bank) and then pay the bank back through a mortgage or a car note. This allows us to have things we can't afford to buy and then pay for those things over time based upon expected future income.
Way to totally misrepresent the banking and lending system of America to fit your little meme.
This is exactly what most people do, and it's also what our government does. I see little difference.

Most people go to jail when they continue to bounce checks after they've run the bank acount dry.
Most people don't get to arbitraily raise their debt limit when they've used up all the credit the bank has given them.
Most people get their shiny toys repoessessed or have to sell them when they don't have the money to pay for them.
Most people would go to jail for mishandling money the way the government does.
The Government gets to do all of that and give most people a big middle finger as they do it.
So no...AGAIN you're tragically wrong. Most people do NOT operate just like the Federal Government does.
