I dont rack up numbers like the OP but I do use my AMEX for everything - it's convenient to not have to carry lots of cash and I just clear the balance every month - no interest, no hassle. Credit is like any other tool, you can use it properly or abuse it.
The sucky part is government involvement. If my neighbor loses all his tools being careless, that's tough. When he steals my tools to replace them, that's theft. But if the government takes my tools to replace his - that's "policy."
