My guess is that if Kuhl doesn't run again, George Winner might run for Congress. Stick a fork in him…he’s done!

He played this same ridiculous game about supposedly being “undecided” in the last election cycle. He’ll wait until the last minute to declare so he can take full advantage of all those glossy mailings at taxpayer expense. He’ll hang around long enough to cash in on the Congressional retirement.

My only point is that Kuhl's debt vs his pretty large income isn't enough to push him into an early retirement.

Also, IIRC, Kuhl the credit card debt is Kuhl's only real personal debt, and for someone with his income, it's not that much. If Kuhl used a second mortgage on his house (a.k.a. Home Equity Line of Credit) to finance his kid's colleged education, it would be at worse terms than 0% or 3.9%. Since a HELC is not "credit card debt", this would be a non-story.
