HAD ENOUGH?:

Economy zips ahead at a 5.6 percent pace (JEANNINE AVERSA, AP )

The economy sprang out of a year-end rut and zipped ahead in the opening quarter of this year at a 5.6 percent pace, the fastest in 2 1/2 years and even stronger than previously thought.

The super-rich got tax cuts and what did you and I get...besides an economy that's growing like kudzu....

So why is the Fed apparently determined to kill it?

5.6% you say?

Ruhoh. I smell inflation. I advise putting all your wealth into gold, and storing it under your bed.

I love the headline, "Economy growth boils, but may be cooling". We really saw a lot of that during the Clinton Go-Go 1990's, didn't we?
