I’ve beeen to retail stores which the clerks now will order for you on their companies website while you are there. Interesting development.
If actual sales are up, its because people have given up all hope for the future and therefore are running up their credit card debts as they live for the moment.
DARN IT!
The recession is over and I missed it.!
Or maybe coupon redemption is still up because the only places the recession is over are Wall Street and the White House.
I think they call it spin,it makes Obama look good.
Maybe we are now in a new recession. Hard to keep up.

Interesting. I assume you say “no, not right now” as your answer.
Some economist with sufficient data need to back these numbers of dollars in sales into “number of units” in sales.
O.K. consumers ARE spending more. Are consumers spending more and buying more, or spending more and buying the same, or spending more and buying less. Intelligent analysts want to know. But, we don’t expect the typical “reporters” in the media to find out.
Why would I say that?
