If you have lost a $50/hr job and are working for minimum wages in a service... "manufacturing" burgers, then you will go for the cheaper product, of course. Because that is the only thing you can afford.

But this is the problem. It is a vicious cycle. And all the time you are tacking on more debt because you can't afford the rising healthcare and education costs. To anybody who can see beyond the end of their nose, this is a prescription for disaster. It is a race to the bottom and it is America on the way to Third World status, where the majority of the wealth is concentrated in a few hands, and the remaining folks live in virtual slavery.
