ABC News reports estimates of costs for "technology resupply" resulting from the WTC tragedy at $8.1 billion. How's that for incremental spending?

Glenn I recall seeing some data the other day that showed consumer spending hit a brick wall just before and during the Gulf War.


There may or may not have been other factors at that time. I still do not see a logical reason for a drop in consumer spending.
