This article is titled "10 Things Americans Waste The Most Money On." But are most of these things "waste?" If you take them away, what's left? |

| Wine, travel, just about anything that enriches beyond existing. But that's ok, if all those things are non-essential, it just leaves more to cut back on to compensate for rising gas prices. It's all about priorities. |

| What was the point of the report?
The items listed were obvious. I mean, who doesn't know where Americans spend their money.
Do we want Americans to stop spending money???
Americans are huge consumers.
Because of that I have a job. |

| When they were discussing the GNP not being where they expected, they said it was because of a dip in government spending - duh! |
