lol very possible. The good news in that bad number was government spending especially spending on military was way down and that consumer spending is up more than expected while not adding to credit card debt or default. Everyones trying to read through the headline miss on this report. Its important for investors to pay attention to quarterly GDP growth because of the non-correlation it has to stocks. It's a backwards looking number and sets up growth in the 1st quarter of 2013.
