What's up with the word "consumers"?

I can understand the term consumer in an economics or business class, but wouldn’t “people” be a better word? Isn’t everyone a consumer? When I hear “consumer” in every news report these days, they make it sound as if consumers are a group of people and that there is a group of people who don’t consume at all.
“Special Report: Consumer spending is down”
vs
“Special Report: People aren’t spending as much.”
LOL!
