American Excess

Apparently many Americans have decided to side with there short term memories when it comes to being more responsible in curbing wild consumer spending habits. The latest data indicates that the good old days have returned in force, so grab up your wallet and head for home depot before your neighbor does. No worry the Chinese will bail us out in the form of unprecedented U.S. Treasury debt purchases. I got to see this in real time when a friend said you have to see the addition we are building on our home, its almost finished. He just happens to also be unemployed, so i quietly questioned his timing, and sanity. He showed me where the wet bar will be installed and boasted that it will have a solid marble counter top better than granite. The pool table and surround sound control room will be over there along with two large flat screen plasmas that will be mounted on the wall, he explained that way you can watch different sports at one time, i guess the two he has downstairs wont get it done. No wonder this country is broke, and over weight including myself we just continue on the same unsustainable path with no intention of change because the bottom line is we all believe that we deserve more stuff.
