Spending Growth Slowed in September



Thursday November 1, 5:49 PM EDT


WASHINGTON (AP) — The growth in consumer spending slowed to a crawl in September as shoppers, worried about a deepening housing downturn, stayed away from the malls.

A different gauge of manufacturing activity slipped close to recession levels last month.

The latest economic data is likely signaling that a sharp slowdown is under way over the next two quarters as the housing slump, this summer's severe credit crunch and now rising energy prices take a toll on economic growth, analysts said.

LOL and is that why it dipped last year? Two years ago? 3 years ago? 5 years ago? Typically means it happens alot. Now use some of your critical thinking powers and try to imagine why spending slows every year around sep-oct. Every year. Typically.


And how much has the market fallen since post #1?

Quoting articles isn't using those critical thinking skills. slipped close to isn't a recession. And you didn't make your point you parroted an article. And the housing slump is regional thus not indicative of the whole picture. What kind of slump has new home sales up anyway? You did know new home sales were up didn't you?

Since you can't think for your self I'll tell you why the spending dips every year sep-oct. Its because people put off spending so they can buy for christmas. Every year chump. Not just this year. Every year. A remedial understanding of the economy would have let you figure that out by your self.

Somehow I am not surprised you have been taking it up the ass. :-)

You are petty ignorant buffoon! wishing misfortune and anal sex on people surely shows your true nature, a bitter, spiteful and jealous fool.

You use terms like "the rest of us" pretty loosely when you do not even have a job! I believe you told us you have paid off your house already too. Just how is the credit crunch or any of the other fantasy crunches hurting you exactly? Is your hobby farm suffering? have your disability checks stopped?

Why don't you go back to calling the fire victims and all Californians idiots in the other thread and leave the basic thinking to people that still have working brains, the vast majority of Americans are in fact doing just fine, and you call others idiots! hahahaha
