1. Unclear-- also these are the initial figures

I look for them to be revised down.

9. Those are different subjects

And again, it's not my friend. It's a person I loathe.

And I simply wanted people to tell me what they thought. I know Krugman's a great economist.

4. 2 Bush lies in 2.4% GDP rise.- Military spending and inflation assumption

Seems the March military spending was somehow not recorded in the first quarter - and was picked up as April spending - about a 1% boost to 2nd qtr GDP growth rate.

And the inflation assumption for the year was cut from 2.4% to 1.2%

take both of these away and we have a zero growth quarter.

but Bush got his media spin of economy coming back - talk of 4.5% growth in the 4th qtr (if much more than 3% I will be surprised), and stock market coming back as his tax cuts work and he has faith in the future???!!!!!!?????

Can this admin make even one announcement with less than 2 embeded lies? - and will the media ever do more than republish the lie?
