Economy grew at 2.5 percent in 1st quarter, amping fears of a stalled recovery - The Washington Post

Quote:
A steep slowdown in defense spending tied to the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is undercutting the country’s economic recovery, new government data released Friday revealed.

A while back, Obama said we all need a new car.

Then, he ordered the oil companies to remove the zinc from their motor oils.

My LBJ? You mean the country's LBJ because I wasn't alive then to vote, all I can do is judge based on historical events that I was not involved in in any way.
