The American consumer eh...... Why not blame those who market to the american consumer. Specifically, those whose strategies perpetuated hyperconsumerism by cleverly manufacturing needs (no doubt the rotten fruits of supply side economics). They effectively turned adults in babies, cultivating private desires and fertilizing impulsve shopping, at the expense of civic and personal responsibilty.
