Kmart Smart or Weak Economy

I saw a commercial last nite for Kmart that was advertising their newly implemented Lay-Away program. Ok most folk who arent on the high end of the pay scale know what law-away is.Honestly I never saw anything wrong with it when moderately used but just seeing it trumped up as this great new option on T.V really shows just how bad the economy is getting right now.And as the holidays march on I wouldnt be surprised if this is a new trend among more mainstream stores.
