by Jammie via Jammie Wearing Fools
Somehow Obama will manage to blame the GOP for this disaster.
The U.S. economy shrank at a steep annual rate of 2.9 percent in the
January-March quarter as a harsh winter contributed to the biggest
contraction since the depths of the recession five years ago. But the
setback is expected to be temporary, with growth rebounding solidly since
spring.
The Commerce Department says the first-quarter contraction was even more
severe than the 1 percent annual decline it estimated a month ago. Two-
thirds of the downward revision reflected a decline in health care spending.
Another major factor was a bigger trade deficit than initially estimated.
So basically it was three times as bad as first reported, but let’s all
pretend things will improve in the second quarter.
This is all so unexpected.
The final reading on U.S. gross domestic product doesn’t generally
garner too much attention, but it could this time. Economists expect the
rate of contraction to be revised down to 1.7% from an earlier estimate of 1
%. This will be the first time GDP has fallen so much outside of a recession
. Still, economists have broadly written off the weak first quarter due to
harsh winter weather.
Sure, blame the weather. Can’t we just blame it on so-called climate change
? Or perhaps there are other factors?
Q1 GDP shrank 2.9%, the worst ever recorded. Gee, I wonder what could
account for it. #coughcoughObamacarecough

Well, at least Obama makes history again:
No longer Bush's fault: @AP: BREAKING: US economy actually shrank by 2.9
percent in first quarter. Lowest 1Q in 50+ years. #Obamanomics

你看傻了吧。减少医疗支出难道不是Obamacare的本意吗？
