                CAN THE UPWARD MOMENTUM CONTINUE?             | 
            
                Moods, Retail sales rise in tandem; Extra Housing$$ on the rise, Though Modest Compared to 2006; Mortgage Interest Rising, But Savings Continue; Why Not?  Out of Pocket Health Care Spending Couldn't Keep Rising at the Recent Pace; Census Overestimates the Population Again; Forget the Participation Rate.  Employment & Unemployment Rate will Move Lower With Population.             |
