Sharp fall in consumer spending, manufacturing in US
No surprise here. The economy had no real rebound. Sure, the corporations increased their profits, but that was at the expense of the workers. With no real hiring going on, other than maybe McDonald's, there's no expansion of the economy (except maybe for luxury goods). Welcome to the continuing collapse.
