Bad to worse: US economy shrank more than expected in Q1

CNBC ^ | June 25,2014

[Don Corleone]

Deliberate subversion of the worlds mightiest economic machine for purely political gains, ie; installation of a Marxist Dictatorship.

[VanDeKoik]

Bring in a bunch of illegal immigrants and see it plunge by November.

Watch for people, en mass to become like pets just before an earthquake. In a way, it’s already happening.

[Daveinyork]

Hope and change. The people in the former soviet empire must be getting a kick out of the blame the weather is getting.

[mj1234]

people are not paying their “fair share of taxes”
Like Hillary and Bill-

Evil corporations not hiring enough workers!

Evil Oil- dragging down the economy!

And finally- not enough workers!- let the illegals in!

You are fooling yourself. The welfare checks will never stop. If they have to defund everything else the welfare checks will go on.

[Nowhere Man]

That’s what scares me.

[JohnBovenmyer]

That was my first thought. Let 2nd qtr come in even -0.1% by the time of its final revisions in September and the Rats have to defend their recession in the fall elections. They don't think they, and their media, can fudge the numbers enough... in the quarter... to prevent that. So they shift a bunch of 2nd qtr duds into the final 1st qtr revision. More will show up in the post-election 3rd qtr revisions. And the 4th qtr numbers will be atrocious. Meanwhile the Great Depressing continues.

Maybe but when it gets to a point of defunding Gubment or cutting back entitlements. I know which one will win.

Ah, yes, thank you.

Also, the war on women and income inequality.
