Retail sales rose 0.8 percent in August,intensifying expections that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous year.

personal spending 怎么会double groth rate ? 不是 spending 和spending 之间的 对比么？

that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter这句话其实是普通主谓宾结构而不是比较结构。
主语：personal spending；谓语：would double（真正的谓语动词应该是double）；宾语：1.4 percent growth rate 大意是说7-9月季度的个人开销将使上季度个人开销的1.4%的增长率翻一倍还多。而这里的more than只是修饰谓语动词double的副词短语，，有“不止...”的意思，而不是比较结构。
所以personal spending和growth rate并不是两个比较对象，不需要概念的完全对等
