You've said anyone who doesn't use your "rule of thumb" is a partisan hack. That's pretty much every economist, the White House, the Federal Government, history books, all partisan hacks cause they don't use SI ignoramus JLA's "rule of thumb." It's okay to question the NBER's methodology but you claim only a partisan hack doesn't use your "rule of thumb" method. That's wrong, laughably stupid, and just illustrates what a fool you are. And according to your rule of thumb, there was no recession in 2001. Just about everyone knows there was one, but your rule of thumb says otherwise, so according to you, you have to be a partisan hack to think there was a recession in 2001... And without a recession in 2001, that means we've had a 17 year expansion that's just coming to an end now. That's what the "rule of thumb" method tells us. So one would have to be a partisan hack to not believe in this 17 year expansion. History must be rewritten all because internet moron JLA won't own up to his own sutpidity... SD
