all right,
willie

u.s. economy
grew in the second quarter. here's the thing. not as fast as you would hope. 2.4% was how quickly the
u.s. economy
expanded. that is weaker than had been expected which was 2.5% but most important economists cutting this forecast for a while so chafb cutting, cutting and came in even below that and follows the growth in the first quarter of 2.7% and final quarter of last year, 5.6% and seeing the recovery slow down. weakest pace of growth in about a year. on top of that,
willie
, they come out with a periodically revise growth for the
u.s. economy
. done that for three years and every single year it came out much weaker than had been expected. in fact, last year now saying the weakest economy for the u.s. since
1946
. but again, that's backward looking. here you are and weaker, companies were really the reason for that, not investing as much as people hoped and saw the market double the losses on the become of that headline.
