dh, if they are processing twice the loans then their revenue should be up significantly more than the 2-3% gdp growth we see ex the "hedonistic" fake-o dollars. if industries all over are doubling their businesses (or maybe even increasing 20-30%) then why is gdp ex the fake-o dollars so low? the answer is simple. they aren't increasing revenues very dramatically. the fact is that real dollar gdp growth is in the 2-3% range. therefore, manipulate the number to make what ISN'T so, so... that is "good" government. paradigm paralysis - a terminal disease of certainty. ps - some studies have been done that show that productivity in 99% of our economy is quite low. less than 1% of the economy is responsible for 50% of the "hedonistic" gdp growth which is, erroneously, reported as a REAL number.
