“The retail sales numbers were terrible, especially if you factor in that gas prices were lower than what we had been experiencing. It’s disappointing to see that even though (consumers) weren’t spending more on filling up their gas tanks, they weren’t turning around and spending that money elsewhere.”-Kim Forrest, Fort Pitt Capital Group

Can you say: No Shit Sherlock!

16 July 2012, for the third month in a row the average person in the United States has cut back on spending.  The oblivious elites are shocked because, gee, gas prices are down.

What the out of touch priests and money changers of the great crony capitalist Temple don’t realize, is that they’ve squeezed so much money out of the system that the average “consumer” doesn’t have any more disposable income to spend, even with reduced gas prices!!!
