So go out and SHOP! Honestly, why don't all the pols come out collectively and say that.

Sheesh.

"Retail sales were stronger in February than expected, according to statistics the U.S. Commerce Department released Thursday.

Total sales volume for U.S. retailers dropped just 0.1 percent last month, which was substantially better than the consensus forecast of a 0.5 percent decline.

Even better was the news that retail sales, excluding automobiles, actually increased by 0.7 percent in February.

Sales volume increased in February for clothing, electronics, furniture and gasoline. It declined for automobiles, building materials and restaurants.

The Commerce Department also revised the January retail figures upward.

January actually saw a 1.8 percent increase in retail sales, based on updated data. The initial report for January had pegged the increase at 1.0 percent."
