Rebounding Economy?

This article discusses the recent increase in spending within the United States. It appears as if Americans have begun to spend again, but the question remains if this is actual recovery or a fluke. Some economists have pointed to the stimulus package as the reason for this spending. They say that we will have to wait to see if people get new jobs before we can know how well the recovery is actually working. Also, the growth rate has been about half of what is expected directly after a recession. Still, some say it is true recovery. Only time will tell.
