Well our country and economy is already over inflated with debt, so it wouldn't be such a bad thing if discretionary spending halted.

really, would that be such a bad thing to the overall economy? People tightening their spending, instead of recklessly borrowing debt, and buying nice things that ultimately aren't necessary? I guess if you're a company that targets discretionary spenders, you're doomed.

other than food clothes & shelter, everything in the world is by definition discretionary spending.


My medications are not optional.


It would be horrible. Most people's jobs are producing things and experiences that are discretionary.
