    Default #1010Means That 0.1% Growth was too much, we gotta slow that down!

    Well, the growth report comes out and we find that we had a SCREAMING 0.1% growth in that first quarter, a bit earlier the CBO report noting that 500,000 jobs would be lost to a min. wage increase...

    The Obama Administration seeing that the growth was just too massively high has seated itself, twisted its legs into the lotus position, stared at its belly button and collectively decided that a loss of 500,000 jobs would be just the thing to tie up that loose knot!

    *Whew*...

    Crisis averted. Maybe he'll "pivot" back to jobs for the eleventy-billionth time... right after he gets rid of a few more to curb that overly massive growth...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
