It was a mixture of disappointment and good news (for retailers). Real GDP grew by 2.5% (annualized), but analysts were expecting 3.0%. So, this was a swing and a miss. According to the BEA, “The acceleration in real GDP in the first quarte... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

Political Talk	Advice to conservative candidates.. - GumboPot on 4/18/13 at 10:35 pm Stop speaking in terms of percentages. Use absolute numbers.

At least not a cut on the planet I live on." When was the last time y... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

Political Talk	Do you remember the $840 Billion stimulus? - GumboPot on 4/3/13 at 9:38 am I was under the assumption that the stimulus was a one time deal.

Political Talk	Were Obama and Hillary bigots when they were against SSM? - GumboPot on 4/1/13 at 1:08 pm Just wondering. The term "bigot" seems to get thrown around recently a lot more in these SSM debates. That's purely an anecdotal observation. Could it be that since the two top dogs in the DNC have switched their stance on SSM that it is now easier for the left to label supporters of traditional m...
