[this happened while I was away but it looks like it's back]
The 1st quarter GDP of the United States SHRANK this year. This hasn't happened since 2011! Now the rules state (I know, rules, smules) that if we have two consecutive quarters of negative GDP then we are in a recession. This happened even with all the doctoring of the numbers. Now we go into the second quarter which only has about 30 some days left with the dread of recession. When I say we, I really mean the democrats because most of us think we already are in a recession and unemployment is in double digits. The question that is on the minds of all of us is obvious; how is this George Bush's fault.
