Time for another installment of "Ivan Answers the Question in the Header Without Reading the Text"!

This "gem" of journalism from USA Today https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/02/05/american-spending-finances/78059694007/ asks us:

"Americans are worried about money. So why are they spending more than ever?"

They're spending more because everything is more expensive (duh!) And *that's* why they're worried (duh!!).

Don't confuse the cause with the effect.
