If the country is doing so good why is the middle class doing so poorly?

Stocks Get Crushed

Stocks had a fifth straight day of declines on Monday. Biotechs got smacked again, and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF fell by as much as 6%; last week was the worst for the sector in four years.

First, the scoreboard:

• S&P 500: 1,881.08, -50.26, (-2.60%)
• Nasdaq: 4,541.03, -145.46, (-3.10%)

I think there will be a few negative “unexpected”s in our near future.

This is good news.

For one Donald Trump.

If you believe this is anywhere near accurate wait two to three weeks. :-)

They are including “healthcare spending” in their stats. This is 0bamacare spending that was ruled a tax by the courts.

What other taxes are they counting as “consumer spending”?

The world economy stinks and inflation and the cost of living increased and is now being counted as growth.
Food and shelter, health care costs have increased.
Fuel has gone down and offsets the suffering a bit.
What a sham the government book cookers put fourth.

the rise in the GDP was led by consumer spending on healthcare, food services, and accommodation.

BI flubs it again. Rising costs of food, housing and medicine isn't economic growth, it's inflation.

Of course everyone has to come out of the bunker to buy more peanut butter once in a while.

They forgot to mention that the economy is so hot the fed kept ZIRP in place.They also failed to mention that consumer credit card debt is sky high. Can’t imagine why.
