I'm sure they meant to say "coupled with the restoration of President Obama's 2% payroll tax reduction in advance of the 2010 election..."

Not really. A strong economy can support all these outfits and always has been able to do so fairly well.
The issue is --the type of society the globalists are building here is very much like a Scandinavian society on steroids.
Meaning, eating out is reserved for the elites and special occasions. McDonald's for a family of four in any of the Scandinavian countries will run you $50 and higher. TGIFs, or the like, easily well over $100. The only thing really affordable is, maybe, an immigrant run (usually Turks)pizza joint.
If they are successful at fundamental transformation of the United States, expect only a handful of these places to survive.
