Well at my store retail sales are up 7% but we raised prices 7% too. So yes sales are up but the volume is flat.
I think that might be the case here. Everyone has risen prices since last year; so hopefully sales are up; if sales weren’t up then volume would be falling.

You’re still beating inflation Troy. It sounds like you have more money to spend.

When the leftie tell the “recession” lie, it’s obvious why they do it: they have to deny the vibrant overall health of the Bush economy, in order to justify their nosebleed tax increases they want to mandate for us.
It’s all about class warfare to buy votes.
Why, then, is McCain doing it?

He hates America?

He hates America?
No, Master Baiter; he’s pandering for votes, just like a Dem. Sorry the logic was too convoluted for you to grasp. I really couldn’t dumb it down any lower.

So he loves America?

When the leftie tell the “recession” lie, it’s obvious why they do it:
When the leftie....blah, blah, blah...communist....blah, blah, blah, hate America terrorist loving bastards, blah, blah, blah, THEY LIE, blah, blah, blah, conspiracy theory...blah, blah, blah.
You sound like a broken record stuck on stupid.

It is in fact a lie that we are “in” a recession. Pointing that out is appropriate.

Just the facts, little dude! You lefties have been yammering “recession” for months now, and there is still economic growth. Either you’re too stupid to know what a recession is, or you’re lying for the purpose of creating economic bad news for political exploitation purposes; which is it?

Unbelievable! None of you get it.
Even Larry Kudlow agrees we’re in a recession.
Sure retail sales may be up 3%, but that’s only because gasoline prices are up 25% in the past quarter.
We’re not buying more, we’re just spending more. And for a lot less
If you don’t think we’re in a recession now, just wait to you lose your job.
