Forget the fact we had growth last quarter, yes 0.6% is very small, but it isn't a loss. But people are losing their homes at a rate of 0.5%, and food and gas are through the roof, so people can not afford to eat, or fill their cars with gas. That all taken into account, people spent over half a billion dollars, again thats half a billion dollars on what??? Schools, programs, food subsidies, no....wait for it....Grand Theft Auto. Thats right folks, were going to hell in a handbasket according to the media, but we can still find the money not to buy food, gas, or pay our mortgages, but we can spend over half a billion dollars on video games. Hmmm...make me think that we aren't in that big a dilemma. Convince me lemmings, how can you buy a video game and not pay your mortgage. And stock brokers, doctors, nurses, mailmen, truck drivers aren't buying them, these games are targeted to those who like violence, and are mainly of a lower income bracket.
