Forgot to post it today, but +2.5 on GDP...

what say you?

The Washington Post isn't impressed, not much anyone can do with a decline in defense spending but I would rather see that than our troops fighting in some cesspool:

"Economy grew at 2.5 percent in 1st quarter, amping fears of a stalled recovery"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/economy-grew-at-25-percent-in-1st-quarter-lower-than-forecast/2013/04/26/9a4e99dc-ae72-11e2-8bf6-e70cb6ae066e_story.html?tid=pm_pop

According to Robert Reich, the forecast was +3, but the sequester is having an impact.

Yes... cutting spending increases is radical stuff. We're talking budget amounts from two years ago.

how much has govt grown that it can't adapt to that?

More likely he was praying for 3%. That's the level needed to just break even with the growing population.

Don't forget to mention that the Sequester was President Barack Hussein Obama's idea. It is also President Obama who has refused to allow agencies to allocate their cuts to areas that cause the least problems. His intent is to inflict as much pain as possible on the citizens. What a leader!
