Economists Forecast Upswing
A USA Today survey finds nine of 10 economists say they're more optimistic about the economic recovery than they were three months ago. They now expect the economy to grow at an annual rate of 3.2% to 3.4% each quarter this year.
They also see the unemployment rate cut to about 9% by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Ben Smith notes that just 19 days after taking power, House Republicans give themselves credit for the brighter economic news.
