"How has consumer spending changed over the past 15 years? Do we spend more on some things and spend less on other than we did in the early 80s? In this interactive, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, you can explore just that."

Hm.. looks like the insurance companies are getting rich. THe amount spent on personal insurance and healthcare has gone way up!

What's interesting is that personal insurance growth is non-linear. There was a huge 2% jump around 2000. What explains this? Besides the recession, was there some big legislative change that year? 9/11?
