The $US is NOT doing very well internationally, we have a gigantic debt (both trade and governmental), and Polyanna says the economy is wonderful. Thanks for clarifying. No doubt, the dollar has fallen hard off its 2001 highs, but realize it was at current levels in '91, '92 & '95. As far the economy goes, it seems to be cranking along like a champ. Our debt issues certainly offset the rosy economic picture, but I don't think they completely offset it. Housing seems to be in a slump www.realestateabc.com/outlook/overall.htm, courtesy of Voodo lending practices.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

How about over the last five years? Ten years? Twenty years? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcimund 0 #53 May 23, 2007 Quote You do seem to cherry pick. Down slightly more than one quarter of one percent? How about over the last five years? Ten years? Twenty years? There is an obvious cooling dropping period from the 40s to the 70s June through now that occurs while CO2 levels constantly rise during a republican administration. A five year (and probably a ten year) average would show cooling a rise. How is this explained.... other than discounting it being brought up?

Now I'm aware that pointing out mathematical errors is only relevant for everyone except you. I'll make a note of that.
