ann1962 makes me remember how easy it is to say things without thinking.
Like the news people on TV last night getting upset that some tax payers in the US might not spend their promised rebate at the store to help the economy. They might pay bills instead, shudder. Where do these people think the money paid on bills goes, Uncle Scrooge's money bin? A black hole? Much better to have people stay on the edge of bankruptcy and have a nice new $600 set of golf clubs to enjoy it with, right? Or much better to use the $600 dollars as a down payment on a gigantic HDTV made in China cause that will help the US economy more directly!

It drives me mad too. I know we are a consumer society, but once the roof is secure over my head, then I'll worry about the retailers profits. After all where would I put all the stuff I want to buy if I default.
And don't even get me started on credit... ;-)
