Some economic reversal is probably necessary if the nation is to make even minimal progress in slowing inflation. Yet so long as consumer spending, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the U.S.'s gross national product, stays strong, the economy is unlikely to ease down, and inflation is all but certain to remain oppressive...
