Globalization coming home to roost?

Interesting article. Wonder if Jon knows what "median" means, and how that
ties in with the reported numbers.

Hint: If you have a big increase in employment of po' folks, the median
income will go down unless the newly employed are hired at very high wages.

Are you claiming that the economy is better now than under Clinton?

And you continue to insist it has been so since 2002?

You're definitely smoking something, Jon. Do you think rates have been
raised over the last year to stimulate the economy?

The Fed isn't particularly interested in stimulting the
economy. They're interested in controlling inflation.

What a nice logical rebuttal. No ad hominem here, no sir!

Of course not. They've been raised so that the Fed can
induce people to lend them more money.

Yeah, it's ok for Dave to do it, but no one else is allow.

Bushco is responsible for the biggest gov't. He was supposed to reduce the
size of gov't. He did the opposite.

I'm claiming precisely what I said. Neither more nor less.

OT: new rant
 

Bush lied. Rumsfeld lied. Cheney lied. Condi lied. I'll give Powel a break
and say he was mislead.

Happy Dave? :-)

Jon,

When you run out of comments relating to the thread, you really ought to
start a new one. Something like "new rant" might be an appropriate
subject.
