Production is being replaced by consumption in the US!
BBC: US services surprise with growth
The US service sector, the biggest part of the world's largest economy, has grown unexpectedly fast in November.
According to the Institute for Supply Management, its services index rose to 58.9 in November from 57.1 in October.
Just like the UK, apparently an economy can boom by just spending other people's money and servicing that spending! Apprenetly this is totally sustainable in the long term too...

Its callled living on borrowed time. I would guess the growth is completely funded by consumer borrowing.
