More Signs of Slowing Growth

New data from Commerce indicates that retail sales fell in June. Sales are still considerably higher than a year ago, but they’ve now fallen for two of the past three months.

(*) Note: boom only “big” compared to the horrible state of the economy during the recession; boom not actually big in any meaningful way.
