This month, we're talking "consumption"... from why you need to be rich to feel middle class to America's most heroic debtor... and the art of tipping to the death of shopping (and the death of malls). Plus, the "Toy Big Bang" faces off the "Explosion of Stuff." Doc warns about your health in winter and P.J. admits what he'd do with $100 billion. Plus a sniper weighs in on war and we finish out with a look at the Middle East in 2018.
