Isn't it likely that they are so rich that having a couple hundred thousand on their card is no big deal? It doesn't say how long they've had that balance -- maybe that's how much they spend every month. They are millionaires with eight or nine homes after all. Or maybe they have other reasons for using their cards that way. Anyway, as much as I dislike McCain, I think using this as an argument to show that he is fiscally irresponsible doesn't ring true to me. It does however show just how rich they are.
