US economy grows at 1.7 pct. pace in 2nd quarter

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. economic growth accelerated in the April-June quarter to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.7 percent, as businesses spent more and the federal government cut less.

The Commerce Department says growth improved from a sluggish 1.1 percent rate in the January-March quarter, which was revised from an initial 1.8 percent rate. The pickup in growth was surprising as most economists predicted a far weaker second quarter.

You don't know that.


However, in Q4 of 13 this 1.7% will probably be revised.

You out of a job? Is Baldy out of a job?

Considering how conks fucked everything up to begin with, 1.7 is damn good.

Oh, and hey, what the fuck has Conkgress done in the last 5 years? Like they promised to do, they've done nothing and deserve even more of the blame.

Greedy and lazy conks = the root of all evil

The Donks control half of Congress you libtard.

And it is the donk controlled Senate that has failed to pass a budget in the last 4 years, while the House has passed one every year.

Meanwhile, the Democrat held Senate won't even approve Obama's budget.

I know this is your shtick but seriously, it isn't an R or D problem. It's a Congress problem.

As long as the ALPACAJIZ1's and Col Hogans of the world are making sure serial murderers have unfettered access to guns, bombs and ammo, your hope will always be alive.

Sorry about your girlfriend, but she better get used to the fact that the government and taxpayers are not her fucking cookie jar.

Then the R controlled congresss should lead the fight to fix it. They've done squat, even though the message from voters to change has never been louder or clearer.

All conks do is say "no"

Yes, her own line. She also consults, works as a stylist and is on the board of a NPO. She is trying to get in with the stylists who work on the 2 TV shows filmed in Charleston.

1) Wife, not girlfriend
2) Her being approached by the City to do a job is not the same as many republican and democrat companies pilfering the government of millions and billions of dollars.

I suggest you don't paint everyone with a broad brush, especially people you don't know.

Despite it being pointed out to you, you keep claiming this. Congress isn't R controlled.

How f*ucking dense are you?

More than their caveman stances on personal freedoms, this current krop of Konks will be remembered, in the long run, as the Great Obstructionist Klan. Obama is black, they don't like that and he's going to pay.

@ Conks and all that could have been done.....

I try to stay out of these things but sometimes I just get offended. I am a long time libertarian, small government, low tax person who has opposed virtually all Democrats and almost all Republicans over the years. But all of a sudden just because the President is black, I am now called a racist. Talk about shaking my head.

As Jackie Chiles said, " You people have a little pet name for everybody."

For 5 years the donks have held the executive branch and half of the legislative branch. Nice work, donks!

The donks have achieved some of what they promised (ACA), and can't run away from it fast enough now that they have finally read the bill. Stupid, evil donks.

Conks are also evil--parties are evil.

How has the change promised in 2008 worked out so far? Donks/Conks = morons.

Actually, Obama has the same amount of white in him as Zimmerman. Hmm...


Missed you, Cappy!

Conservatives like Martin Luther King said "in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"

Conservatives don't care that the President is white-black
