For the first time ever, this year, I refused to fill an RX the doctor had given me for my alleriges...the darned copay was $60 for a nasal spray! Enough already.

Excluding autos, retail sales rose by 0.5 percent, a better performance than had been expected as sales at general merchandise stores, a category that includes big chains such as Wal-Mart, posted a 0.5 percent increase, much better than the tiny 0.1 percent rise in March.

what about adjustment for the inflation they keep saying doesn`t exist. these numbers are all fake.

Does anyone here really believe that the $168 Billion rebate and $4.00/gallon gas is just a coincidence?

Retail sales down?... who's kiddin' who? Retail gas prices... up! Retail grocery prices... up! Retail Rx prices... up! Retail electricity prices... up! Retail heating oil prices... up! So maybe some retailers need to change their business.
