As she was increasing interest rates last week for the first time in nearly a decade, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen proclaimed that “the economic recovery has clearly come a long way, although it is not complete.”

Well, not really, as we will probably see Tuesday when the Commerce Department releases the report showing the final revisions to third-quarter gross domestic product.

As it now stands, the third-quarter GDP was reported to have been growing at a 2.1 percent annual rate. But experts expect that number to be revised to 2 percent.

And, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, fourth-quarter GDP growth has ticked down to a 1.9 percent annual rate.

None of those numbers show good growth, despite what Yellen may have convinced herself. And the rate hike announced by the Fed last week will probably slow growth even more.

Yellen’s biggest problem, as I’ve been saying, will be the nation’s next two employment reports. The Fed boss has a full plate of crow in front of her just waiting to be devoured.
