Over the past three and half years, growth in U.S. consumer spending has averaged a paltry 0.2 percent adjusted for inflation, the weakest in the post-World War II period, Morgan Stanley says. While the employment picture is gradually brightening, wage growth is going in the opposite direction, keeping a lid on consumer behavior. ...</p><br clear="all"/> </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/u-consumer-slow-lane-200348661.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwZmE5MDc0BF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1NTEwMjAy">Full Story</a></b></font>

The South American OPEC member nation is battling more than a dozen such cases triggered by a wave of nationalizations by President Hugo Chavez's socialist government.
