    It's a contradiction to a reasonable degree for our purposes here.
    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

        Only in America would 3% growth be warning of stagflation .

          Not yet maybe, but there will be significant changes to the labor force in the next decade or so, and I would be suprised if there were no stagflation especially if energy prices increase too.

              Imran,

              You don't think having a bunch of workers retire is going to cause problems when we already are having trouble hiring people with the right skills while others stay unemployed?

                3% growth with government deficit over 4.5 of GDP is worrying.

                  Everything is going to cause 'problems', but stagflation? Naaah. We Americans are smarter than the Europeans on this thing, we don't have a knee jerk reaction against immigration. Frankly, if things start getting bad with workers to retirees, I can easy see the government letting more legal immigrants in (especially when all the WoT hubbub becomes less pronounced).

                    The deficit is running at more like 3.8% of GDP and dropping.

                      We don't need more fruit pickers. We need more accountants and system analysts.

                        its clear that the GOP and its supporters are unamerican and are traitors to our great nation. they are running huge budget deficits which is doing nothing except hurting us as a nation. maybe you guys should move to mexico if you want to spend like youre drunk.

                            wait, i thought that the service sector was the least important and that the farming and manufacturing sector were the most important. why then would you want more accountants and system analysts (services) and less fruit pickers (agriculture)?

                              Btw, we LEGALLY immigrate more of the accountants and systems analyists than we do fruit pickers. Illegal immigration takes care of the later, really.

                                Because that is how the economy is currently structured.
