And while yes people back in the 30's who had money and spent it, the percentage of those people with disposable incomes back then was much much lower than today!

It's all about priorities was my point - people say they can't afford "food" but they can still buy games and movies and luxuries - if that's the case, it's NOT that bad In the 30's people could afford food and little if anything else!?... People feel too "entitled" these days -"What?! I have to buy the DVD Standard Def version because I can't afford the BLU-RAY deluxe version - that's crap!... Oh wait, I'll charge it, let's get 'em both - good to go...!"

In the immortal words of Chuck - "Good grief!"
