"The increase in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), exports, private inventory investment, and residential fixed investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from federal government spending, nonresidential fixed investment, and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
The deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected a deceleration in private inventory investment and a downturn in nonresidential fixed investment that were partly offset by accelerations in PCE and in exports."
GDP for first quarter at 2.2%, lower than expected but more than it could have been had the austerity hawks in the Tea Party got their way. What part of aggregate demand do you wannabe economists not understand? Here is it again for the economically illiterate:
AD= Personal consumption + Business investment + Government spending + (delta between exports and imports)
If one goes down, the other has to go up to balance it all out. Got math anyone?
