Economists are forecasting? The headwinds are too strong. I look for growth to be negative in the 4th quarter because of that. Right now our fiscal policy resembles Europe so why shouldn't our results? Second quarter (just ending) will be around 1.6% and third quarter around .8%. Fourth quarter is actually the first quarter of FY 2014 and we don't yet know what federal spending levels will be and that makes it quite difficult to guess -- plus it is getting pretty far into the future putting it in the plus/minus .2% range.
