Black Friday Economy

I hate to point this out, but if our economy was truly off the rails, wouldn't there not be lines of people parked out front of big box stores awaiting lowly priced merchandise? Seriously, how many of the people that complain about the economy are now counting down the shear moments for when they can drop some dollars on stuff they or their giftee really don't need. Sure there are a few things that I would like, but yet again do I really need it. Do I want to have 2 new Kayaks in my garage? Why yes, I would. Can I wait until the spring to buy these? Why yes, I can. Good luck to those that are taking to the streets, drive safe.
