It was nice to see that the high-income consumer, which slowed down spending in November, came back strong in December.

There is no question it is a very different mindset. The one wants fashion first and the other is a discount shopper.

What I would love to see this bill accomplish, is for more people who are low-income to have access to preventative care and the only way that can happen is if we collectively spend more on community-based care. The ultimate goal is to make more people healthy, because you want to have people not get so sick that they need more expensive care.
