Of course, it also said this:
| Quote: | | While other recent data had led economists to expect an upward revision to the government’s measure of second-quarter economic growth, the trade data was likely to lead them to lower their sights. |
which, given the government's consistent prediction of a strong economy leads me to believe that this 'other recent data' still indicates that.
It also states that much of the deficit comes from a disparity in trade to China that is due to China holding it's currency at a steady value rather than letting it fluctuate as it should. There's a host of issues listed in the article that contribute to all this.
I'm not exactly sure what Jack's point is by posting this. The economy is still growing...even the article says that. The growth has slowed slightly but it doesn't give any indication that economic growth will stop or that it won't pick up again.

To grasp at straws, first one would need to be desparate.
And with a president like Bush who exemplifies idiocy in its most refined and purest form, the prospect of an administration is not only real, but most likely guaranteed.

Freak, you leave a bad smell on every thread you touch.
Hmmm..
Lysol? Remember to do it outside or in a tub, so you don't mess up the house.
