Q4 GDP revised to 2.2%, versus expected growth of 2.1%

CNBC reports:

U.S. economic growth braked more sharply than initially thought in the fourth quarter amid a slow pace of stock accumulation by businesses and a wider trade deficit, but the underlying fundamentals remained solid. Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.2 percent annual pace, revised down from the 2.6 percent pace estimated last month, the Commerce Department said on Friday. The economy grew at a 5 percent rate in the third quarter.

No matter how the media spins it, anything less than 3% annual growth in GDP is a failure.
