The Business News Headlines 15 August 2024

How much good news can you take today...because we have plenty!  We kick things off thanking you, the American Consumer, for saving our national economy. No joke! And it only gets better after that.  Meanwhile, if you want to reach out to us on social media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• You, yes you, have saved the U.S. Economy. We'll explain;
• Even more data to share from the Commerce Department report;
• The White House is celebrating a major win for Medicare drug prices;
• Possible to take even more good news?  Walmart has some;
• Even the economy in Japan is on fire and we'll share that data;
• The Wall Street Report;
• And, Apple and its "Table Top Robot" made the news. Let's go!

Thanks for listening!
