1. What does this mean?
2. Why is it important now?
3. Is this an economic growth related issue?
4. Is this an immediate warning sign?
5. What are you seeing as far as GDP in the first half of this year?
6. What GDP level do you see as detrimental to our economic growth?
7. Where do the brighter spots lie in the current economic picture?
