One of the things holding back the economic recovery recently has been slower-than-expected consumer spending growth. Apparently, consumer spending has been constrained by Americans' newfound unwillingness to borrow. I suspect, however, that this is an illusion created by a deeper problem. Consumers have the money - in fact, net worth has recovered to an all-time high - they just aren't borrowing and spending.
