Reply #11: Yes, but when we stop buying, what then?

Look at this for simplistic economics; no job; no salary; no purchasing power; no taxes. Now I know the neo-cons haven't been too worried about our buying power because they have been filling their pockets with corporate welfare and our treasury and all the money that has been borrowed to fund the war. But who is going to fall first from the depression?

I think all the cheap mega outlets like Wal-mart are going to feel the pinch first. Then maybe things might start to change. Uncle Wally isn't someone you mess with.
