Econimic difficulties.

The weekly (or monthly, I'm not really sure) issue of Newsweek arrived recently, and in it there was an article giving advice on what to do if the United States goes into an economic recession. As I was reading it, I found the 'itinerary lists' written to be completely irrational and stupid. If we're going into a depression/recession, who is going to have money to spend? Isn't it all going to be saved because we are in a recession? I certain wouldn't go out of my way to spend money on useless items that I'm never going to need. The entire article seemed to be a waste of paper space, with some author trying to fill in a quota. Not only was the content unreasonable, but i didn't find the writing to be up to Newsweek's usual standards either. Total bogus.
