>>Events, of course, can overtake I.M.F. forecasts. This year's world growth estimate is 1.3 percentage points below what the fund predicted a year ago. And after currency crises broke out in much of Asia in 1997, the I.M.F. predicted that Thailand, South Korea and Indonesia would escape recessions. Now, all those economies are shrinking, ranging from 7 percent contraction in South Korea to 15.3 percent in Indonesia. <<

just think if they miss the US target by that much

Joss, If everyone in the world owed me money they couldn't repay, and the US was backing me until I got back on my feet, I'd be calling for no recession in the USA, too. Please! If you say it loud enough, maybe you can make it be true. <G>

It's a wee bit chilly here, but I love it. The Governor is too busy trying to teach kids to read by the 3rd grade and kicking folks off welfare to worry about the weather. <G>
