2006 an uphill road?: The economic tempo may slow in 2006, but marketers see high notes in the Hispanic sector

Article Abstract:

The US economy experienced a slower economic annual growth rate of 3.4 percent in 2006 due to an increasing budget deficit, increasing national debt, and increasing interest rates. Proposed tax cuts, together with increasing government spending, mainly on the war in Iraq, military operations in Afghanistan, and homeland security, result in an estimated budget deficit of $317 billion for 2005, and a projected $314 billion deficit in 2006.
