Oh that lousy economy.

GDP grows 4.9%
In Q3 07.

The MSM would be singing the praises of whatever Clinton was in the Whitehouse if the news came out under one of their administrations.

Me, I look for this lagging indicator to determine how the economy is going. If my neighbors have their houses lit up to the stars around Christmas the economy is chugging along fine. If not, the economy sucks. The North End is lit up bright this year. Heck there is some idiot who lives across the street from the Golden Star who turns on his Christmas lights in the middle of August!
