Not surprised about the retail sales and, don't disagree that the CfC deal had some effect. This retail thing,
a huge part of GDP, is not coming back next week or, next month, or maybe even next Qtr.

Other than groceries, some school stuff for the kiddoes, and a few other normal replacement things, what the
hell "new" does someone need right now? A Slightly Saving/Scared Population, as opposed to the "buy it on CCs
and worry about it later" mode, is impacting retail sales, but the econ can't have it both ways, currently.
