Additionally, the Beige Book was released around 2:00 p.m. The report revealed that the U.S. economy continued to grow between mid-April and early June, though the housing market showed signs of a further slowdown, while consumer spending moderated somewhat. Seven of the 12 reporting districts posted economic growth.

Finally, the Senate Banking Committee approved the confirmation of Donald Kohn as vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Kohn assumed the role of Federal Reserve Governor in August 2002. Prior to that, Kohn served as the Secretary of the Federal Open Market Committee from 1987 through 2002. He began his career with the Federal Reserve System in 1970, acting as a Financial Economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

KLP....So you're saying that the WORST recession since '71 was in 2000-2001?

If I knew you were holdin' the 2000-2001 recession and I was holdin' the 1981-1982 recession I'd go ALL IN.

I'd know that in my "hold card" I had 22% interest rates.

You're a good guy, KLP and I don't want to spend too much time rehashing old times, so let's just call it a draw or whatever.

As long as we both understand that Reagan was the FATHER of Federal deficits.

O.K.???
