No doubt there has been a shift...but for Americans to be able to spend seven billion dollars on a stupid (in my opinion) holiday like Halloween should show that things are not as bad as the media likes to put in our face on a daily basis.

$7 billion dollars... such a large amount.. a whopping ~$23 average spent per person. So basically, you're under the impression that because people can afford to spend ~ $23 for halloween that the economy is somehow ok?
