BloggeRhythms

Sorry folks, still under the weather. So, after 2627 (7 plus years) straight daily entry’s I’m taking some time to recover and pick up again on Monday. 

But, as long as I’m here today, noticed three items on Drudge worth noting.

According to to CNSNews.com: “The real value added to the U.S economy by the mining, construction and manufacturing sectors boomed in the first quarter of 2017, while the real value added by the financial and insurance sector dropped, according to data released today by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

“Overall, the U.S. economy grew at an annual pace of only 1.4 percent in the first quarter. But the value added by mining grew by a booming 21.6 percent, while construction grew 5.6 percent and manufacturing grew 4.7%.

“The overall 4.7 percent growth in manufacturing reflected 5.0 percent growth in manufacturing of nondurable goods (i.e. products such as clothing and food) and 4.4 percent growth in the manufacturing of durable goods.

“At the same time that mining, construction and manufacturing were booming, the finance and insurance sector declined by 2.1 percent.”

Then Katherine Rodriguez reports @breitbart.com that: “USDA statistics on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation showed that 42,609,852 people in the U.S. took part in the food stamp program in fiscal year (FY) 2017, the lowest level it has been since 2010 when 40,302,000 people enrolled in the program.”

While the economic news was breaking, Joshua Caplan @thegatewaypundit.com reported: 

“Under the leadership of former Obama official Tom Perez, a new FEC report reveals the DNC finished the month of June $3.3 million in debt. 

“They’re broke. Just like their policies.”

Does anyone else see a correlation in these happening. Or is it just me?

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
