Leading Economic Indicators Report

Looks like another bad outlook report from the Leading Economic Indicators Report out this morning. For the fourth straight month the LEI report index has been down. This is a report that predicts leading economic segments of the US economy 4 to 6 months out. This coupled with the Treasury Secretary's comments on China's currency issues and their purchasing of US bonds keeping interest rates artificially low in the US and the FOMC not being able to control interest rates could spell real trouble for the US economy. Maybe the hard-line Republican and Democratic economic policies are really incompatible?
