  The Dems. keep saying the economy isn't strong.... The GDP responds by flipping them off..... I just thought this was amusing. The U.S. economy grew much more slowly than previously thought in the first quarter while inflation was higher, a government report showed on June 25, 2004. The surprise downward revision to gross domestic product -- which measures total output within the nation's borders -- cut growth to a 3.9 percent annual rate in the first three months of 2004 from the 4.4 percent reported a month ago and below the 4.1 percent pace in the final quarter of last year.
