I'm no fan of Obama, but this goes way beyond him. This nation has been plagued with a problem of overbuilt retail space for decades. If you look at the ratio of retail space to population in this country since World War II, you'll find that this was relatively stable until the 1980s then increased dramatically after that.

The simple truth is that even without the growth of internet sales, we don't need all the shopping centers that have been built over the last 50 years.

("What in the wide, wide world of sports is goin' on here?")

Who's better than Slim Pickens?

The trouble is, our brainiac Central Planners decided that the US would be a service economy. What happens to our new breed of workers when we don’t need that much service?
