Fed Sees More Signs of Recovery

Share

(AP) – The economy is finally beginning to show signs of stabilizing in some parts of the US, bolstering hopes of a broader-based recovery this year. A Federal Reserve snapshot of economic conditions issued today finds that most of the Fed's 12 regions indicated either that "the pace of decline has moderated" or "that activity has begun to stabilize, albeit at a low level." The improved assessment raises hope that the recession, which started in December 2007, is drawing to a close.

Yeah, they're getting ready to wind the economy up a little bit before kicking it in the nuts again and then supplying Rockefeller and the banksters with another round of taxpayer-funded "bailout" funds. Reply
