A comment on Millions of credit-card customers can’t pay their bills. Parent comment

You linked to an article about people not paying off the entire balance of their credit cards each month, but the WSJ article is about people unable to make their minimum monthly payment. Those are two very different things. So, no, this could not "be a headline any month."

The headline does not make the "minimum monthly payment" part clear.

Fair enough. A case of different perspectives, perhaps. People who pay their full balance every month define "credit card bill" as meaning the full balance, while people who don't or can't pay the full balance (the majority of credit card holders) define "credit card bill" as the minimum payment due.

Almost like maybe you should read the article (not just the headline) before commenting ...

The 2nd half of the comment was about me not being able to do that.
