Up, up, and away..
Article Abstract:
Economic conditions in the US show that consumer spending is at a 3.5 percent real annual rate which indicates the strength in the consumer's staying power. There is a small increase in growth which caused a drop in business investments. The local government showed slight spending but was offset by defense spending. Housing investments are strong and with consumer sentiment no damages are seen. Inflation is only at three percent which shows lesser risks in the economy.
