Maybe this is old news but I hadn't seen it before.  Pretty funny really. 

US Economy Growth at 2.5% for First Quarter of 2013 as Consumer Spending at 2-Year High

Of course the article linked says

However, there is concern among economists that recent employment and retail sales data suggests spending is slowing. The larger-than-expected fall in government spending was one reason why the GDP came in below analysts' forecasts.

On 1 March, more than $85bn in mandatory government spending cuts, known as the sequester, began. The defence sector was due to bear the brunt of the cuts.

ING economist Rob Carnell said a breakdown of the figures showed "sharp softening" in growth as of March, indicating further weakening over April and May.

He said there was a good chance of the second quarter being "substantially weaker" with a "rogue negative quarter" even possible.

New Jobless Claims Fall to Five-Year Low

Yeah, put that positive spin on it! Workforce participation  hasn't been this low since 1979, and 1 in 5 is on food stamps, and the Jobless claims have been all over and usually revised down, but ignore that.

Drudge should sue for trademark infringement.

[Glock32]

He absolutely should. They are obviously using his name for notoriety and personal gain, without permission or compensation. Not only should he sue, he should make a claim on any ad or trackback revenues obtained with the unauthorized use of his name.

Me thinks this is nothing but a Democrat front website.  It's all cheer leading personalities and no ideas or real news.  Perfect for an easily manipulated voter base.

Zero Hedge, the Anti-Anti-drudge site reports on that consumer spending that is "up" -  Its up on services. What services I wonder? People getting things fixed and in order before the wave hits maybe? Or is it all cable and phones?

I would guess more of the R&M variety...who can afford to buy anything new?  And new stuff (especially coming out of Chi-Com slave shops) often sucks quality wise...we all know the story...appliances etc...what decade was it anything decent was made that lasts, or made domestically?
