“The U.S. economy grew more slowly in the first three months of this year. Stronger consumer spending was offset by cutbacks in government spending and by businesses restocking their shelves at a slower pace.” (emphasis mine)
The story stays the same. The economy is slowly improving, and budget cutting is making it slower.
Every economic report I’ve read in the past year has included the bolded sentence in one form or another. Every. Fucking. One.
Idiots.
