Do not read this column if you are among the one out of seven Americans living on food stamps or among the one out of six living in poverty. Do not read if you are among the more than 14.5 million unemployed.If you still have a TV, do not turn it on. Today is Super Bowl Sunday. Those living in the other American economy are going to gleefully romp in a nationwide gala of conspicuous consumption. Packers? What's left to pack? Steelers? Shouldn't they sell their name to Asia? Two teams representing otherwise forgotten rust-belt cities will drive the most frivolous spending boom since Christmas.
