But unlike the 1930s, when hard times put savings out of reach for many Americans, the new outbreak of consumer mania and credit card usage reflects an ebullient stock market that has made people feel wealthier and more willing to trade in their tomorrow for today. Thanks to the stock market, consumers have played a pivotal-and increasingly precarious-role in preserving the economic expansion that's in its ninth year despite economic shock waves from overseas. Although consumer confidence has fallen every month since June 1998, many Americans remain optimistic enough to spend all their wages and then some.
