USA Consumer Spending Strengthens Even Amid Affordability Strain.[1] Total household Net Worth in the USA reached $195 Trillion in the Second Quarter of 2026.[2]

When their money is depreciating, consumers spend it as fast as they can like a hot potato before it loses anymore value. It's a disincentive to save and invest. This is stagflation. Keynesians and neoliberals however point to how it adds to consumer spending figures and the GNP, which is just bloated.

What User:Conservative does not understand (or refuses to understand) is that $6 a gal diesel and $4.50 a gal gas adds to GNP figures. it is not however "economic growth". In fact, it slows down and retards economic growth. The dog chasing his tail.
