It won't because he was the first black president. Call it racist if you want, but that is what will be remembered first about Barry Hussein Obola. Next will be his grab of the economy and largest redistribution of wealth ever.... and only after all that that he is a complete and utter failure.

Fair enough. Hate is a strong word. Let's say that I have zero respect for him as a man and most definitely as the one that holds the office he now does.

It will be interesting for sure. People are so used to these rates when they do start rising it will be a shock to the system.

Q1 growth projections are down below 1% and 2015 annual growth projected in the mid 2s. For context, a healthy economy should be in the low 3s and a post recession economy should be well above 3 for several years. Last year was the best year since the recession and it was 2.4 (6 years out from the recession).

This is not good.

I believe Q1 is going to surprise some people in its weakness. With a shift of Easter back into Q1, we should expect to see very solid growth in spending.

I have reason to believe it's going to be a bad quarter. I hope I am proven wrong.

Atlanta Fed is saying .1 % - almost as bad as the negative Q1 last year.

You believe that is the cause?

Also doesn't explain the number viewed as a percentage.

Do you know what the labor participate rate measures?

That was my point. The total is less important than the percentage.
