GDP better than expected??

[abducens]

After cash for clunkers and the real estate stimulus is gone can GDP still be better than expected?

Highly doubtful, but certainly possible with the data manipulation crap we've been seeing.

I'm looking for a .7 revision to the DOWNside.

I can guarantee one thing: If GDP comes in on the high side then within 12 hours there will be 1,000 articles on the usual blogs explaining how the government is willfully manipulating inflation data and therefore quarterly GDP was actually -8.6% in real terms

The sheep MUST smile

War = bad

Health care = bogged down

Unemployment = large

Sheep need stroking at all costs.
