That also confirms why the retail sales numbers were outstanding the other day.

If you look at jobs created, and a lot of people actually working this year, they’ve got cash to spend.

I think every single chain is anticipating the largest sales ever. All that will do....is boost expectations for 2019.

I might even go and suggest that the consumer confidence level....might actually be higher than what has been seen since the 1970s. ‘Unbridled optimism’ is what I’d call it. This horse wants to run, badly.

“every single chain is anticipating the largest sales ever.”

Respectfully suggest we all pass on shopping at TARGET.

This should bode well for all the GOPs running on Trump’s coattails this November. It’s amazing how the health of the economy runs roughshod over everything else.

Pretty anti Christmas IIRC. Also, can’t think of anything I can get there that I can’t get at Walmart....for less $$.
