GDP Adjusted – US Economy Contracts in Q1

Obama kicks the US Economy over the cliffUS Economy Contracts in Q1

The Economy sucks for everyone except the rent seekers and people in “The Capitol” as the economy for Q1, originally estimated at 0.1% growth, has been revised to a loss of 1%.

Patterico makes the best comparison I have seen so far.

 This administration is shaping up to be very similar to that of FDR, one of the worst presidents in American history. Obama came into office facing an economy that already was doing poorly, thanks to bubbles inflated by Fed policy, and swung a Louisville slugger at the knees of that economy repeatedly. New regulations on employers, and new goodies for unions? Take that, economy! Misallocation of resources through monstrously huge government spending programs? Take that, economy! ObamaCare? How do you like that, economy?! Wham! Wham! WHAM!!!

And what do you know? The economy is starting to buckle under the repeated blows.

We’ve been through it all before, in the 1930s. This is a milder version, but the principles are exactly the same.

Here is some recent Economic wordplay on my part as well.
