Fed survey: Growth slows across much of the US
Wednesday July 27, 2011, 2:06 pm

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The economy worsened in about half the country earlier this summer because of weak home sales and signs of a slowdown in manufacturing.

A Federal Reserve survey says seven of the Fed's 12 bank regions reported slower growth in June and early July compared with the spring. That's a worse showing than in the previous survey.

Of the remaining five districts, four reported modest growth. A fifth, the Minneapolis district, said its economy was disrupted by bad weather and the shutdown of Minnesota's state government.

The job market remained weak in most districts, the report said. Employers added few jobs in June, the government said earlier this month.

2. That's their plan - then - blame it on Obama
That way he'll never be re-elected (not that he doesn't do enough damage to himself by simultaneously calling himself "Democrat" + cutting social security and Medicare) - but they mean to finish the job for him.
