Works for me!

I
thought however the original post was Dwight's not yours. He seems to be
advocating that the government "fix" consumer's purchasing habits so that
the local stores stay in business.

I don't read it that way at all, but I could be mistaken. I think Dwight's
simply calling attention to the fact that there are some economic trends going
on that don't bode well for the economic future of our country - long term or
short term.

While I think government has a role to play in changing those trends, I don't
think the whole thing can be left up to them to "fix".
