Opus 2013-44: Headline: Shocked at Decline in GDP?

This morning when I went on line I checked the headlines on the Drudge Report.  The banner talked about a shocking report that the Gross Domestic Product had declined.  It did not say “slowed in growth,” it said “decline.”  My first reaction was, “Well, duh!”  I wondered who in the world could be surprised at this in light of the current things happening in Washington, D.C.  So I jumped over and found out. 

Another “Duh!”  It was the MSM.  The link took me to an article at CNBC.   If you bother reading it you will see that although they admit it went down, they have all kinds of reasons to explain how it isn’t really a big deal.

It is a big deal and it will get bigger.

The government needs to stop spending on things that are not mandated in the Constitution.  Remember that old fashioned document?

  1. They'll never learn, even AFTER it's far too late. Maybe when they feel the flames licking around their feet.....but there I go - judging again!

    1. At this point I would not call it judging, just calling them as we see them.

      Grace and peace.
