So yeah, I agree completely with this article.

If you haven't called your congressman about the Paulson Bank Bailout, you don't deserve to be called a citizen. Get off your lazy butt and do it.]]> Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:57:10 -0400

How can you take these numbers seriously with an inflation figure of 1.1%? In this economy?

Is there any credibility left for these numbers?

1.1% inflation this quarter? With a CPI of 7% and a PPI of 14%?

What if inflation is actually, you know, measured accurately?

What if it was actually closer to the 7% CPI? Or the 14% PPI?

What would your GDP numbers look like then?

Would real GDP be down 15% for the year? 20%?

Would we have had *any* significant growth since the Shrub came into office?

Garbage in, garbage out - and the inflation number is pretty much garbage.

Unless someone would like to defend the 1.1% inflation number. ]]> Sun, 03 Aug 2008 02:08:43 -0400

Do you beleive that that was the inflation number? Really? Seriously?

If, instead, the correct inflation number was, say, 2.5% (which is still about half the CPI number), then the growth was .5%. If, instead, the inflation number was 3% (which seems likely) then growth was ZERO.

PPI was 14%, remember, so 3% would seem to be a lower bound, wouldn't it?

Sheesh.]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:22:37 -0400

Also Florida, Nevada, Arizona, California (inland), North Virginia, Atlanta, Austin.

Not sure where the first commenter was posting from, but this is assuredly not a localized phenomenon. ]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:20:31 -0400

And that's considered "inflation fighting"? It's not. Not until it's LARGER than the inflation number.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:21:33 -0400
