0

The Commerce Department announced today that the economy grew by an annualized rate of 2.8% in the 4th quarter of 2011.  That makes it the best quarter for growth in this tepid recovery.  The best growth quarter during Reagan’s recovery was 9.3%.  Also, business investment grew by a snails pace, 1.7% – down from 15.7% in the third quarter.  Obamacare and the regulatory burden are still holding down business investments.
