This is a perfect example of when "more is less." The problem that we all know about is the consumerism mindset this country has been built on. By telling everyone to "go shopping" the president of the US could be interpreted as wanting the public to be poor or by supporting the bad credit and debt problems this country already faces. Of course we already know he supports the credit industry as opposed to the good of the public.

Here's a suggestion:  The next time you want to buy yourself a new "toy", make it something that cuts fossil fuel use, like a geothermal heating/cooling system.  Trade your SUV for a Prius.  Install a windmill or a solar electric system.  You may not get rich, but you can cut your electric or gas bill.  Meanwhile, you're doing something good for the environment, and helping future generations.  You'll also be helping to dispell the myth that going green means doing without, or being uncomfortable.
