Yes, we're back to *your* lie.


Lie?

I asume that you are prepared to make the same "liar" charge against Gregory
Mankiw, (Chairman of the President's Economic Advisors) who has publicly stated
that switching burger flipping to a manufacturing job is an "important
consideratin" of the Bush economic recovery plan?

*******************


According to The New York Times, the idea of reclassifying fast-food
restaurants as manufacturers is buried in 417 pages of statistics included in
the new report. But Gregory Mankiw, chairman of the president's Council of
Economic Advisers, is certainly not shying away from this plan. In a speech
last week to economists in Washington, Mankiw said that classifying hamburger
flippers as manufacturers is "an important consideration" for the
administration's economic policy.
