- Total retail sales - not adjusted for inflation, now a big factor - inched up 0.7% in August from July, to $619 billion (seasonally adjusted), up a stunning 18% from two years ago and 15.1% from a year ago.
- This wasn’t a proper “rebound,” as it has been widely called in the media, but an uptick in a four-month down-trend from the mindblowing superlative historic free money blow-off spike in April.
- A spike doesn’t spike forever. But Americans are still making a heroic effort to spend the pile of free money they got.
