You are the type of person who often opts not to make a purchase, even though it could be problematic down the road. Family and friends have given up asking you out for lunch because you never pick up the check. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time driving to a factory outlet seeking to buy either a set of luggage without wheels or a how-to book on wine tasting.

Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).

He doesn't know what to do. There's been so much demand for his economic pie, what with society's unlimited wants and needs, that he needs to make it bigger. Our job is to figure out how. While we're doing that, we'll also see how to put our economy on the path to economic growth.
