Will The Current Economic Downturn Kill Consumerism?

Think about it.  Sixty five to seventy percent of American Gross Domestic Product is a direct result of consumer spending.  That means that practically 2/3 of every GDP dollar earned in this country is a direct result of what you spend on clothes, homes, cars, insurance, etc.  American consumer spending represents 18% of the entire world's GDP!

Many people are hoping that the recent election will usher in a new era of cooperation and accomplishment between the two political parties.  The celebration, both nationally and internationally, of the Obama election is indicative of a new sense of hope and cooperation that people haven't felt for quite a while.  Seeing tens of thousands of people cheering in the streets of cities across the world was a moving moment and demonstrates how excited many Americans are about the future of our country.
