U.S. economic growth slows in less than expected in the second quarter as a surge in consumer spending blunted some of the drag from declining exports via ReutersTV

WASHINGTON - U.S. economic growth slowed less than expected in the second quarter as a surge in consumer spending blunted some of the drag from declining exports and a smaller inventory build, which could further allay concerns about the economy’s health.
