The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.Sun, 08 May 2011 14:22:50 +0000

That would seem to be one of the items the seasonal adjustments adjust for; after all, it is a repeating event that happens on a specific date.

Of course, you forgot to mention $4+/gallon gasoline (or should I say $5 by Memorial Day?), the deflated dollar or the unwillingness of the Democrat leadership to actually address the deficit (or debt, for that matter).

ARRA is pretty much done, the Fed. doesn’t see a need for QE3, the government is slowly sheding public sector jobs at all levels and deficit reduction is the nation’s priority. I’m sure things will get much better moving forward now that we’ve removed all of this uncertainty.
