Retailers are starting to panic over the possibility of very disappointing holiday sales. Toys R Us has decided to open its doors on Thanksgiving with big discounts for fools who think their spoiled brats don't have enough plastic junk. Sears and Wal-Mart are doing the same. Nothing is sacred to retail, and some year national retailers will be open all Christmas Day so Joe Six-Pack can impoverish himself some more. The latest in credit card technology will help low-end Americans spend even more without making the effort to become financially literate.
Black Friday comes but once a year. Americans will pay for it all year long.
