One wonders, though, whether many of them have the insight to know what’s causing their troubles. My bet is that almost none of them do; their stupid voting over the years in a such indicator of that.
Mainly because this is not the first time that stores are closing. Stores have been shutting down since the beginning of time. It does not matter what year or who is President, they close. I remember Wanamaker’s, Woolworth’s, GeeBee’s, Montgomery Wards, Sam Goodies, and so many others. It is sad to see favorites close but even with a President Cruz, stores will close and businesses will fail.
With reference to your post #61, what you say is true, stores have always failed throughout the years of the Republic. What I should have said, but didn’t—laziness crept in—is that this is but an indication of the continuing failure of our economy and is a leading indicator of the worst to come, what with other problems, key of which is the impact of Obamacare, which can be directly linked to some of these failures (Cabela’s stands out). Other indicators are the continuing rises of unemployment (hidden neatly by the Administration by excluding the huge numbers of the people who have given up looking for work) and the impact of the EPA’s and other agencies’ regulations (the closings of coal mines, for example).
All the evidence is out there but the low-information voter does not care or does not have the capability of caring what’s happening to the USA’s economy.
