High unemployment, household debt, and a general lack of confidence can affect consumers' ability and willingness to spend.

HOT TOPIC: Breaking Down the Proposed FY 2013 Budget

The 2013 budget released by the White House on February 13 contains proposed fiscal measures that could affect the business and investment climate, the income tax code, and government spending.
