Hedonism isn't genetic but it isn't easilly cured either. There is a symbiotic relationship between egos and credit cards and this won't change until lenders are no longer able to squeeze debtors for usorious ROI.
From a macro view, our economy needs you (not me) to spend more and getting stuff will be encouaged simply because our economic paradigm requires it and the purveyors of it are more skilled messengers than any others. The sheep are always shorn.
The USA is soft and wont be able to revert to the old paradigm of not consuming more goods and services than it produces until the political system changes.
I hope for a constitutional convention within the next five years.
