- How To Stimulate Consumer Spending And Jumpstart The Economy
By: Steve Selengut | - My survey produced an interesting anomaly--- several respondents felt that excessive consumer spending was the primary cause of the economic problems we face today, and that spending is not to be encouraged.

Interest rates remained on hold at 5.25%, where they have been for a year now, and investors hoping for a rate cut have capitulated.
