Yes, productivity growth of 4.4%, 4.4%, and 4.1%, respectively, is all Bush's fault.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
That table is all well and good but what assumptions are they using to create it? I've read the same thing as Chegitz that if Bush gets his way on making tax cuts permanent and the spending he's asked for gets made then our deficits will explode. We haven't even factored in the Social Security debacle you've been so vocally supporting.Originally posted by DanS
The "pretty big" deficit has turned the corner, so the deficit isn't getting worse. (See NIPA Table 3.1, Line 39).
But that doesn't make entertaining news.

Bush has little to do with any productivity growth but in the long term his deficits will have to be paid for by every man, woman, and child. Nice way to avoid the subject.Originally posted by DanS

The subject at hand is productivity. There was an attempted threadjack for the budget deficit by the anti-Bush crowd, which I rebuffed.
They used historic actual figures.That table is all well and good but what assumptions are they using to create it?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

In the left wing, economic growth is really bad. This is really bad news for the leftists on this forum, I think. But to the people this is great news, thumbs up to several of solid economic growth. I expect 2005 to be similiar.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

The long run looks great
The short run on the otherhand is very questionable. The output gap seems to be growing. That's not good, especially since we don't have any real control over it now.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Bush's deficits mean that every American who borrows money (meaning just about everyone) pays a higher interest rate.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

I have a car but I own all of it. I can understand if you need to borrow to buy a house or a car, but you don't need to borrow on your credit card. The system now depends on people doing so, and we should fix the system by starving the beast.Originally posted by Oerdin
