The US economy cooled more than expected in the first quarter of the year, but remained healthy by historical standards. Economic growth has slowed steadily over the past 12 months, which bodes well for lower interest rates, but the Federal Reserve has made it clear it’s in no rush to cut rates.
Gross domestic product, which measures all the services and goods produced in the economy, measured an annualized rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. It was the weakest pace of growth since the second quarter of 2022 when the economy contracted.
That’s a steep slowdown from the fourth quarter’s 3.4% rate and also below the 2.2% rate economists projected, according to a FactSet poll. The figures are adjusted for seasonal swings and inflation.

The ridiculous PURPOSEFUL overreaction to the panicdemic will go down as one of the dumbest events in US history, and probably the first where we truly saw the negative impact on society of social media. At least for those willing to be honest.
The Left and media lit the spark for the overreaction. Social media turned it in to a raging wildfire that negatively changed society.
Those who are old enough to have lived through several similar pandemics over decades knew how ridiculous the freak out was from day one. Unfortunately, the loudest voices carried the day….so here we are
