Fed survey: Slower growth spreads to more regions

[defendandprotect]

WASHINGTON – More regions of the country reported slower growth as the U.S. economy lost momentum in the late summer.

A new survey by the Federal Reserve finds the weakness spreading. Of the 12 regions tracked by the Fed, economic activity was mixed or slowed in five - New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta and Chicago. Activity elsewhere was described as modest or pointed to positive developments.

But, it sure as heck ain't about a respect for free speech--!!
