What would happen if Americans go back to 1940s spending habits.

Quote from Swan Noir:

That type of behavioral changes only comes after the massive deflation. It never proceeds it.

Deflation that the Fed has vowed to never let happen.

Quote from DT-waw:

nothing can be accomplished by changing the "top".
change comes from the "bottom" - joes shmoes and plane janes. since they still prefer to be intoxicated with drugs , wheat, junk food of all kinds, etc. - so be it.

its all there is in capitalism , really. spending habits.
like a vote in democracy, folks vote with their purchases.

Good point. Just look at pop culture to see how far the American people have fallen.

We still have some very talented people at the top pulling the cart, but if you look at the bottom 2/3rd's of the population it's frightening.

Turn on the TV for 10 min and you'll see there is no recovering from the collapse of standards in this country.

'Duck Dynasty' succeeds by offering wholesome, family-friendly entertainment

In the Season 4 premiere of “Duck Dynasty,” Robertson family patriarch Phil and his wife of 48 years, Miss Kay, have a wedding ceremony in their back yard, officiated by their oldest son. They were just teens when they got hitched and couldn’t afford a party.

There are no fights, no nudity, no designer gown and no other celebrities in sight, and yet nearly 12 million people tuned in. Wednesday’s premiere set the record for most-watched nonfiction series on cable ever.
