According to ShopperTrak RCT Corp., which tracks sales at more than 50,000 retail outlets, total sales rose 8.3 percent to about $10.3 billion on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, compared with $9.5 billion on the same day a year ago. ShopperTrak had expected an increase of no more than 4 percent to 5 percent.
“This is a really strong number. … You can’t have a good season unless it starts well,” said Bill Martin, co-founder of ShopperTrak, citing strength across all regions. “It’s very encouraging.

Being that your dollar is worth 8.3% less that likely equates to the same sales volume as last year. I wouldn’t call that good economy, I’d call it wishful thinking. The US economy is on the verge of a crash and burn and you have the highest national debt in history because of Iraq. Nice to know you can still afford a pair of rose coloured glasses, for now.

Yes, it is bad news for the doom and gloom crowd, otherwise known as liberals. But the media will be sure to ignore and downplay those stories and they will find something that they can spin into something pessimistic.It never ends. It’s up to people that are not easily brainwashed to get the real stories out.

If you look at the problem from a limited perspective your conclusions could be viewed as correct. Now look at the problem as a whole . . . Has the Iraqi government capitalized on the success of U.S. ground forces? Are short term and long term interest rates acting in tandem? Now ask the question again . . . you will get a much different answer.
