No one is saying .6 is great. But its “good news” relative to what the media has been saying. Its an expectations game. We are not in recession, and nowhere dang near the depression that most in the media want us to be in. According to NPR, we’ve been in a recession for month. Lies. You and yours would be gloating if it were a .6 pct decrease. A co-worked of mine had nothing to say this morning after weeks of an almost literal spring in his step about all the bad news. Just incredible. If being a Democrat means rooting for a recession, they’ve lost me forever. Not gonna get this dude’s vote. ever.
