Our Robust Economy

Retail Sales fell by a whopping 1.1% in February, the largest drop in five years. The Fed pumping $200 billion in to the lending market is really like throwing a pebble into the ocean when you consider the US economy is a $9 trillion behemoth. Which makes yesterdays 400 point rally on Wall Street seem... silly!

(h/t) Atrios, he keeps an eye on these things.
