What makes you think that our domestic economic health is bad? Seen
interest rates lately? I wasn’t even charged interest on my new Jeep!
|
Ever thought about why interest rates are so low?

I neglected to add this
link.
|
That is old news with outdated figures.
|
OK. Tell me what has changed over the last month!

And BTW, that reminds me. Seen our
rate of inflation lately?
|
What does low inflation & low interest rates signify? Clue: Take a look at
the Japanese economy.
|
It signifies that prices are low so stuff is cheap, and getting money is cheap
as well.
| |
| |
I am a small business owner, and for me, this is the best economy I have
experienced since I started paying taxes some 30 years ago.
|
If real interest rates are the lowest for 30 years, what is the incentive for
me to invest in your economy?
|
Borrow money and start a business or buy property!
| |
| |
It has been a
lot worse, and yet it is improving. I know this because the shrill
Democrats aren’t harping on about the economy lately;-)
The one thing that sucks is the price of gas, but since we invaded Iraq for
their oil, I’m sure that that will be coming down any day now.
|
Perhaps Iraq will join OPEC once is shakes off Bush?
|
How could they do that if we are taking their oil?
| |
The price of gas should be much higher: it is a finite resource which
causes gross environmental damage.
|
No. As it is now it is virtually infinite. By the time the resource is
exhausted, technology will have provided us with an alternative-- an alternative
that was discovered by the free flow of oil to the industry and economy of the
US.
