CJ, > I suppose you think you have a point here... It's obvious you thought you did when you spun the unemployment numbers by not counting population increase. In a normal functioning economy, an increase in population means an increase in the potential workforce, an increase in the number of consumers, and an increase in the GDP overall. Therefore, it's pointless to say that the GDP and the number of jobs overall in the late 1930s matched that of the late 1920s. > If the latter measure, then we only recently recovered from the recession when Bush took office... Funny how the GDP is well above the Clinton boom and unemployment numbers are well below 5% even though the population increased since Bush took office. But I'm sure the spin you applied for FDR doesn't apply to ABB ... Tenchusatsu
