    Too bad the gov't isn't telling us something similar now. Now they give us stimulus checks and tell us to spend, spend, spend.

    In my opinion that would fall on deaf ears in todays society. On the other hand I've started seeing a trend with the people in thier early 20's that I work with to be less the spender type than other groups I've seen in thier early 20's. Maybe if the message was pushed now, even if not responded to, younger groups mght be swayed more that direction.

    Times have changed... really changed! Today the ads want you to spend, spend, spend. They want you to want, want, want. It's not about need anymore.
