Housewives? Why did Teresa lie about finances? and how much debt they were in? Does she even know that?

no she isn't bright at all. when andy asked her the question, she tried to go around the answer but she was so dumb that she used the words andy put in her mouth and unknowingly confessed it. then she says her husband knew but didn't tell her to protect her meaning her husband would rather have her spend money that they don't have just so she doesn't know that they're in bankruptcy. how dumb of an excuse is that?! she lied because they thought being bankrupt meant you were poor but if they didn't live above their means, they wouldn't be bankrupt! only joe would know how much debt their in cuz i'm sure she doesn't know. she makes those kids buy whatever they want.
