Stop importing everything.

Exactly.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Don’t blame Obama. Not his fault. Residual effects of the George W. Bush economy...

1) They blame the weather. 2) It's not a final number. 3) Last, but certainly not least, other data show the economy is improving.

Ok, the building is on fire but no need to panic.

1. it was caused by lightning not people.

2. We don't know what the final damage will be.

3. The other side of the building is not on fire.

CNN Reports ‘U.S. Economy Shrinks, But It’s Not a Big Deal’

By Laura Flint | May 29, 2014 | 13:05

Last month, CNN reported that the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis measured a decrease in the rate of growth of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) to the tune of 0.1 percent. But relax, they insisted, it was merely due to the “winter weather effect.”

Fast forward to today and the Bureau’s downward revision of GDP growth. The feds now tell us the economy contracted one percent in the first quarter. Yes, this is “the first downturn since 2011,” CNNMoney noted but, hey, “it’s not a big deal,” according to the network’s dismissive headline.

What is that picture originally of? It reminds me of the videos of Saddam saying all is well while Iraqis looked outside and saw American tanks coming down the street.

No worries, unless of course this were the Bush administration.

The corrupt MSN.
