I wonder how we can shine this turd?

But given a buoyant labor market, the ebb in growth is likely to be temporary.

But there are signs the worst of the industrial sector downturn is over, with recent manufacturing surveys turning higher. In addition, the dollar's rally has fizzled and oil prices appear to be stabilizing.

Asked and answered.

If a revolution ever comes, the press should be marched to the gallows. If they make it that far.

Industrial production fell at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the first quarter

If only we could have gotten the TPP Trade deal through, we would get that up to 5%, and the economy would really be booming

Are they going to let Trump win the election? Or are they going to start the printing presses.
