Yes, it is the end of the American consumer as we have known it -- the free spending pay nothing waste everything consumer -- good riddance. With any luck we will not see the sort of consumption orgy we have seen in recent years ever again. The times are changing -- for the better on wasteful consumption. As to the dollar, we are far poorer than we have been forced to admit. A lower dollar will drive that home hard, very hard, and that will last a lifetime.
