Posted on April 30, 2008 by andrew

0.6% GDP growth in the first quarter of 2008! In your face, recession doomsayers!

All we hear about is how the Republicans have ruined our economy and we’re all going to be feeling the squeeze as production continues to grind to a halt. It’s a bit hard to buy that negativity when the economy is growing at a resounding clip of more than half a percentage point. Suck it, Dems. John McCain will be cruising to victory in November.
