The economy shrank from October through December for the first time since the recession ended, hurt by the biggest cut in defense spending in 40 years, fewer exports and sluggish growth in company stockpiles. Get outta here! You mean with businesses fretting over the unknown cost of ObamaCare, with taxes being raised for almost every American, and government spending continuing to spiral out of control that our economy is contracting?

| The private sector continued growing. Military spending , or rather lack thereof is the reason for the overal contraction. Would the military spending have been reduced if the sequester was not on the table? Fiscal Cliff Woes Caused GDP Contraction: Heidi Moore | Daily Ticker - Yahoo! Finance The Pentagon decreased its expenditures by over 22% in the quarter ending in December. Had military spending remained the same, Q4 GDP would have increased by 1.27%. The decrease in defense spending was largely in preparation of the $500 billion cut to military disbursement that the fiscal cliff proposed. “There was no other kind of pressure on defense spending that would have cause it to plummet 22% except for the expectation of the cuts,” says Moore. Business pull back in response to fiscal cliff uncertainties was the second main cause of economic decline. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, “The downturn in real GDP in the fourth quarter primarily reflected downturns in private inventory investment.” Had private inventory investment remained at quarter three levels, GDP would have grown by 1.17% last quarter. Moore contends that inventories were not low because of high consumption but rather because businesses purposely pulled back in inventory accumulation as a response to fiscal cliff threats.

| Quote: "U.S. stocks rallied, briefly sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 14,000, as data showed hiring increased in January after accelerating more than previously estimated at the end of 2012 and manufacturing grew. All 10 industry groups in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index advanced. “The market is greeting the jobs numbers very happily,” Wayne Wilbanks, chief investment officer at Wilbanks, Smith & Thomas Asset Management LLC in Norfolk, Virginia, which oversees $2.3 billion, said in a phone interview. “The U.S. economy continues to benefit from the two in particular very positive trends” in manufacturing and real estate, he said." ![]() . . . ![]() . . . . . . ![]() |
