OT--Economy Grows at Fastest Pace Since 1984
NOYB:
I thought you guys on the right were business savvy. Yeah, once you screw something up *tremendously*, it's easier to post some pretty impressive percentage numbers as the rebound begins. Example: Your practice is capable of handling 20 patients per day. You begin spouting off about your politics while your victims (er, I mean patients) are strapped into the chair with a mouth full of crap and unable to respond. Your patient load drops from 20 per day to 5. You finally realize that dentistry and politics don't mix, and shut the heck up. Your patient load goes from 5 patients per day to 8. Wo ho! Brilliant management! You just posted a 60% increase. :-) I once took over a sales situation where I achieved a 120% increase in less than six months. But it wasn't any big deal, all I really did was get production up to about where it should have been all along. That percentage increase sure looked good on the resume for a while, though. I guess we can all be thankful that one of our longer and deeper recessions may be coming to an end in many places throughout the country. The West Coast is seeing no part of it. You know it *must* have been the tax cuts. This is the very first time that the economy *ever* recovered from a recession, right? Get thou real, Doc. :-) Meanwhile, back at the Crawford Ranch, the R controlled White House and the R controlled Congress have increased our national debt 43 BILLION DOLLARS since October 1st. Why all the outrage about 87 billion for Iraq? We're peeing that away as a matter of course every 60 days as it is. It's all part of the PNAC's agenda to move to a British capital, imperialist system. We will have to raise interest rates to attract enough investors to shoulder this debt, and at that time those few people sitting on hundreds of millions in cash will be on easy (or easier) street. Current Month 10/27/2003 $6,847,911,183,949.94 10/24/2003 $6,847,437,986,849.37 10/23/2003 $6,846,423,952,526.25 10/22/2003 $6,834,787,133,873.25 10/21/2003 $6,837,578,313,166.46 10/20/2003 $6,834,248,759,903.16 10/17/2003 $6,834,021,912,939.72 10/16/2003 $6,830,709,313,106.40 10/15/2003 $6,819,991,274,100.25 10/14/2003 $6,816,232,489,123.39 10/10/2003 $6,815,997,835,664.82 10/09/2003 $6,818,335,215,910.51 10/08/2003 $6,815,762,633,308.91 10/07/2003 $6,817,256,800,753.20 10/06/2003 $6,814,440,215,107.91 10/03/2003 $6,812,573,929,325.08 10/02/2003 $6,805,599,570,918.78 10/01/2003 $6,804,504,127,055.70 If you guys keep this up, you'll give the American public a 7 Trillion dollar debt just in time for Christmas. What a nice thought the have stuffed up your chimney- tinsel, pointy star, and all. |

"Gould 0738" wrote in message ... NOYB: I thought you guys on the right were business savvy. Yeah, once you screw something up *tremendously*, it's easier to post some pretty impressive percentage numbers as the rebound begins. So you admit that a rebound has begun? Nevertheless, your theory is discredited by the fact that GDP currently stands at a figure that is almost 11% higher than when Bush took office. Anyway you spin it, that represents real growth. Example: Your practice is capable of handling 20 patients per day. You begin spouting off about your politics while your victims (er, I mean patients) are strapped into the chair with a mouth full of crap and unable to respond. Your patient load drops from 20 per day to 5. You finally realize that dentistry and politics don't mix, and shut the heck up. Your patient load goes from 5 patients per day to 8. Wo ho! Brilliant management! You just posted a 60% increase. :-) Good try, Gould...but we've had consistent *growth* in GDP...not a decline. I once took over a sales situation where I achieved a 120% increase in less than six months. But it wasn't any big deal, all I really did was get production up to about where it should have been all along. That percentage increase sure looked good on the resume for a while, though. I guess we can all be thankful that one of our longer and deeper recessions may be coming to an end in many places throughout the country. The West Coast is seeing no part of it. That's because your state governments are run by Democrats...who have *raised* your state taxes. You know it *must* have been the tax cuts. This is the very first time that the economy *ever* recovered from a recession, right? Last time that the GDP jumped that much was in 1984...following the Reagan tax cut. Did you see Sen. Corzine's (D) comments about the tax cut and the economy? He broke ranks with his fellow Dems and attributed a large part of the rebound to the tax cut. |

stands at a figure that is almost 11% higher than when Bush took office. Maybe your primary residence is more clever than mine, or anybody else that I know. Most of our houses haven't "produced" a darn thing (as in "gross domestic product") yet the spike in selling prices (not to be confused with values) inspired by the temporarily low interest rates is reflected in the GDP numbers. Without the artificial "product" of escalating real estate prices (further splitting the haves and the have-nots in this country) the GDP number would reflect actual economic "growth" and would most likely be a negative number. |
