- As an interesting aside, CNN "Overnight" had what had to be a
- running average graph of Spending Increases, Inflation Increases,
- and Personal Income Increases. From the graph, it surely looked
- like the recent " upsurge " in spending was almost completely
- inflation driven, as both graphs had almost equal slopes. In
- addition, the Personal Income direction was ambiguous, at best.
-
- With the recent inventory level unchanged, I take this as supporting
- my conclusion above. Any unexpected spending increase should have
- depleted inventories.
-
- I.E. No true growth. Predictable.
