| Anonymous Coward User ID: 18280462 United States11/25/2012 12:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's pretty bad when our economies are so shitty that they can seemingly be altered by retail sales over a period of 3-4 days. Wake up people. It wouldn't matter if the numbers were UP 10% over last year. We are so far in the red, nobody can come up with a scenario that even begins to tackle our debt problems. There will be a giant, brutal depression in the years to come and the sooner we let it happen, the less devastating it will be. We have all been living on borrowed time and money for many many years. Embrace the coming chaos. Let us go back to our true nature as beasts. Do not perpetuate the great hoax that is our "economy". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14717007 ^^THIS^^  |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1313288 And there is also inflation so comparing to last year the change is far worst than just 1.8% You are right , id rather look at the total stock items sold rather then the money figures.

Shit son, we're hell and gone from paranoid... We don't rent pigs... Come and take it! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 918818 United States11/25/2012 01:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I usually spend a minimum of $2,000 at Christmas (even more when I spend on myself). I have already informed the lib loving relatives that voted for Obama that they will no longer be receiving any gifts from us as a result of the election and the upcoming tax increases they voted for on my family. I also told the car salesman that I was no longer interested in purchasing a new truck for myself and a new car for my wife (he already was told if Obama won I would not be buying). I am "going Galt". I refuse to participate in allowing the liberals to use my money against my best interests. Let them eat twinkies.  |
