Would that be *really* bad news?


I didn't say the news was bad.

I said- it hasn't happened yet, so nobody knows for sure AND- the Bush
Administration has poured out so much gov't cashola that sooner or
later, it *has* to accelerate the money-go-round... most economists have
been surprised it's taken this long (if it is in fact happening). Them's
the facts.

OTOH the standard for the Bush Administration: economy sucks, yell about
terrorism terrorism Iraq terrorism... oh wait terrorism is up and Iraq
has turned into the expensive bloody quagmire they warned us about...
let's talk about the economy.

Works for some, eh JohnH?
