With the revised GDP, the economy has shrunk another 1%. Is the present administration worried about that? I think not. They have better things to worry about such as global warming. No worries though, the president will get the military to fight global warming per his West Point address this week.
One would think the Congress and Senate would agree that superficial legislation that limits manufacturers from making new products for consumers is not a good idea. But those legislations exist none the less. I would hope everyone would tire of this so the ball would get rolling that would bring new jobs instead of outsourcing.
It would make too much sense to just leave ecig vendors alone to do business here in the US, but by all means write your senators with this point. I am a vaper and I vote!
I have ended all my emails to senators in that manner. Thanks OP for the thread. I won't be posting here much because the opportunity to bash the present political powers now controlling the Senate is much to great.
For the first time in three years, the American economy contracted over the course of a quarter. In the interim report on GDP, the BEA estimates that the US economy shrunk by a full point in 2014 Q1, a downward revision of the advance estimate of 0.1% growth:
Real gross domestic product — the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States — decreased at an annual rate of 1.0 percent in the first quarter according to the “second” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 2.6 percent.
