Is the economy that bad?

If the economy is that bad why would we spend four bucks on a cup of coffee. I splurged this morning on a Caribou Coffee. This is a complete rarity for me. One is I have a hard time justifying the purchase. I just wanted a treat this morning. Two, I have been boycotting them for the past few years. I don't like who owns them. My political aspirations showing through. So I was tortured this day with my hypocrisy.

It does make me wonder how people can bitch about the economic well being of this country. Then turn around and spend like drunken sailors. Then complain when the bill comes due.
