In the meantime, I am repeating my call for a consumer strike as I said at #87 in this thread:

Not only would I not buy a Guvmint Motors car at any price, I personally am on economic strike against the entire Obama administration. I am reducing my discretionary consumer spending to the lowest levels possible. If those cretins in D.C. won't stop spending, guess what: I WILL.

A widespread consumer strike is all we can do to protest Obama's economic policy garbage.

I know a consumer spending strike hurts the real economy in the short term, but compared to what Obama is doing to the structural economy -- there is NO comparison. Anyway we can hit back at them, throw obstacles in their way, hinder the destruction they are delibertely visiting upon our country -- we must do it.

Consumers don't have the spending power or mood right now to jumpstart the real economy anyway. So why spend "some" when it just props up Washington's delusions and delays the day Congress -- just maybe -- finally starts to listen to what the people are saying.

I agree and am doing the same.

Imagine the economic impact if “the rich” refused to spend a dime on 1 day of every week.

If instead of stopping our discrectionary spending, we should divert it to only buying firearms and ammunition, along with other tactical gear and sniper training schools. That should send some kind of message.
