housing down 19%; biz investment down=those are the important numbers.
govt. spending up about 4.5%, and consumer spending up=those are not good numbers, they skew the overall gdp to the upside, but that is the last thing you want, i.e., consumers getting more in debt, and the government spending more money=both those numbers are in fact worrisome, as the govt. needs to show more fiscal responsibility, balance a budget once in a while, and consumers are setting up the classic "debt-trap" with high credit card purchases.
