Title: Hey - great economic news...

or perhaps not.

"Consumers spent a bit more in August than the previous month, a sign the economy is holding up even as inflation lifts prices for food, rent, and other essentials.

Americans boosted their spending at stores and for services such as haircuts by 0.4% in August, after it fell 0.2% in July, the Commerce Department said Friday. The government’s report also showed that an in-flation gauge closely monitored by the Federal Re-serve rose 0.3% last month, faster than July."


um.  Inflation is up and up.

If consumers bought the same amount of stuff each month, with higher and higher inflation, wouldn't consumer spending increase?  not because of increase purchases but simply because everything costs more.

Inflation rate for essentials like energy, food, consumables, etc., is at least double digits. The government is LYING to us.

Wait until layoffs start.

Nothing to get excited about. I'm positive that was all back to school shopping/haircuts. Cost me over $100 for kindergarten.

Do you mean purposeful, or on purpose?  Maybe it’s both.
