Economy kept growing solidly in 2nd qtr
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy grew solidly at a 3.4 percent annual rate in the second quarter, the government reported on Friday, just slightly below the first quarter's pace and with room to grow as stocks of unsold goods fell for the first time in two years.While second-quarter growth eased from a 3.8 percent rate in the first three months of the year, it nonetheless marked the ninth straight quarter in which gross domestic product or GDP increased at a rate exceeding 3 percent, Commerce Department figures showed.
Not bad for a chimp and his minions. Now if I could just get hurricanes to quit blowing away the shops and tourists who buy my work, everything would be peachy.
