Economy Grows at Fastest Pace Since 1984 By JEANNINE AVERSA, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - The economy grew at a blistering 7.2 percent annual rate in the third quarter in the strongest pace in nearly two decades. Consumers spent with abandon and businesses ramped up investment, compelling new evidence of an economic resurgence. While going into further debt. Washington is setting the tone, we're in love with deficit spending. There's nothing wrong with deficit spending when you have the ability to borrow ad infinitum...especially when GDP increases as sharply as it did. The net tax receipts grow (despite a rate cut), as GDP grows...but there is at least a 1-1 1/2 year lag. The ol' deficit will shrink in the very near future again. Nevertheless, increases in the deficit don't matter as long as there are proportional increases in GDP. The increase in gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy's performance, in the July-September quarter was more than double the 3.3 percent rate registered in the second quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Because the cupboards were nearly empty from reduced production (of everything but job cuts) for months. Spin away Dem-boy...but there's nothing but good news in a 7.2% jump in the GDP. |
