that was all freaking jiberish crap to me. All I know is people are still loosing jobs by the truckloads and gas prices are soaring. I don't give a rats ass about what Bloomigderg has to say about quarterly 4.6 increases up from 4.3 percent.

The most telling news that the economy is recovering is CNN is reporting Greenspan hinted at an interest rate hike to forstall apparently an overheated recovery. Food for Thought.

Tax increases are never a necessity in my book, unless of course all wasteful spending is stopped and there is still a need for more money to run the government. Check these out: http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer?...ts_pigbook2004 |

Regarding tax increases, I totally agree with you. In fact, I saw there ought to be a flat tax of no more than 20% to the Fed govt. with NO other taxes or fees (no medicare, no SS, no excise tax) NOTHING. But, that will never happen because the special interest will never allow it. Also, the Bush tax cut is not really what is says. Yes, Federal taxes have been cut, but most state and local taxes have had to be raised to compensate for the lessened dollars these entities often receive from the Fed. Govt. Also, W's govt., like ALL other administrations, has vast wastes of money as pointed out in that second article. But, the govt. is so large I am unsure how to stop all of that. I mean W has used the Treas. to put a campaign slogan on recently mailed tax day reminder docs. That cost millions in resources. Yet, W says it was warranted and the expense justified - how he reached that conclusion I am uncertain but I do know this, that is a flat out waste of my tax dollars. Then, all Pres. use AF1 to campaign and pay only a nominal fee. That is a flat out waste. But, there is no end in sight. So, here come the higher taxes as America cannot sustain her debt with the current tax structure |

You're welcome for the references. Even though someone loses a job through outsourcing, and that is a tough thing to take, these losses are mininimal on the grand scale of total jobs lost. Retraining the displaced employee is essential in a situation like this. That aside, you can't deny that it is plausible that outsourcing can be a good thing by creating more jobs in the long run, amongst other things indicated in the article. I TOTALLY agree that CEOS should take a cut in pay, making those funds available for better use within the company. But I still don't think that that will encourage the company to keep higher paid employees on the payroll. It would still strive to be as profitable as it could, and outsource a job if it meant saving money. Quote:

Let's not forget that the recent number for unemployment claims were MUCH smaller than what they actually were. It was quite the spin from ChimpCo.

He did? When? In his speech yesterday he said (I'm paraphrasing) it was still too soon as we had seen the end of deflation but we still hadn't seen strong enough signs of inflation. The FOMC meets may 4. The beige book comes out today. That should foretell a lot about what's going to happen on May 4. |

[QUOTE=strandinthewind]Well, for one, I am cautious about the actual number of new jobs created. The way that number is determined is not defined. [QUOTE]
Jobless claims were up 30,000 last week. We get a fresh set of numbers tomorrow. |

By the way jwd, using a source such as The Heritage Foundation doesn't really make for a believable case. |
