U.S. Economy Worse Than Expected in Second Quarter; G.D.P. Grew at 1.3% Pace

The United States economy has slowed considerably this year from a year ago,
according to a report from the Commerce Department released on Friday.

The country’s gross domestic product, a broad measure of the goods and services
produced across the economy, grew at an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the second
quarter, after having grown at an annual rate of 0.4 percent in the first
quarter. Data revisions going back to 2003 also showed that the 2007-2009
recession was deeper, and the recovery to date weaker, than originally
estimated.

The news comes as Congress is debating how to put the nation on a more
sustainable fiscal path, with measures that some economists worry could further
slow the recovery and even throw the economy back into recession.
