to the people who can least afford it - small businesses, retired people, service and retail workers. And anyhow, it's too diffuse and lacking a discernible goal. What do I buy, or not buy? Obviously I have to buy food and other necessities, but do I buy cheaper ones? Use leaves instead of toilet paper? If my stove breaks do I not replace it even though it means I can't cook for my family? If my car is totaled in an accident do I not buy a new one even though I need a car to get to work? And at that point do I start realizing that my not buying a new car won't do shit unless many millions of other people are also not buying new cars or refrigerators or going to movies or buying toilet paper. And if those things are not bought, the guy down the street who works at a car dealership or appliance store is out of work, as is the kid who sells popcorn at the movie theatre, the retired couple across the street has lost the value of their retirement fund, and after awhile there are no leaves on my trees and Costco is out of business. Yes, the economy is damaged, but don't forget, we are the economy.
