Congress and President Obama are proposing a government program the would ‘rescue’ the retail industry.

1)A retail Czar would mandate that consumers spend 25% of their income on black Friday.

2)The Czar would determine which store a consumer could spend.

3) There would be a penalty for NOT spending because X-mas shopping is a moral right.

4) Those that could not afford to shop would be given government vouchers.

Remember the show “Sliders”? They had an episode where one alternate universe earth was a forced consumer society. Spend money or go to jail.
