...empirically documented, which suggests that every dollar of increased household wealth will, over a period of time, convert to 3 to 5 cents of spending. Calculators, please: 0.03 times $1.2 trillion equals $3.6 billion in spending. In an economy that is two-thirds consumer spending, that's another growth driver.
