Wow! Maybe you have missed the recent economic collapse. Who in their right mind would go out and spend money just to be anti-OWS... surely you jest!
I’m sure that you probably meant this with good intentions, but you really need to remember that almost of all America is suffering during this downturn. That means that almost everybody is going to stay home.
The few that do go out and have excess money to spend - well, they will have to hold up the economy.

I disagree.
I was once engaged to a girl who thought it was a virtue to buy something she “needed” as soon as she “needed” it.
When she ran out of real money, she’d start in on the credit cards. And, the economy wasn’t even bad at the time.
By the time we were no longer engaged, she’d single-handedly run up about $15,000 worth of debt, in just over a year and a half.
I think lots of people won’t let their kids miss “Christmas”, debt be damned.
It will be the new frugal Friday.
