Since the recovery is week the consumers are in no position to spend there way out of the recession. The Commerce Department reported that personal incomes were stagnant in September. While unemployment is still rising.
Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of the total economic activity has dropped 0.5 percent the first decline in 5 months. The bright spot in the economy is that gross domestic product grew 3.5 percent from July to September.
