I was looking through the avalanche of economic data today, and it struck me how once again Americans are spending well over their income growth.  I thought to myself, well part of this are all the programs where the American government is subsidizing consumption.  In fact we're at the point one of every six dollars of consumption are from goverment, meaning you only need to "earn" 5/6ths of your spending power.
