Unemployment at a 4 year low...

I think what Jarod means is that a meaningful recovery is better than a fast, bubble-driven recovery, basically. I don't know I am just for whatever stops people's suffering.

Is this your way of expressing that you are indeed a racist?

Well, I was raised in a racist culture, and I am certain that i have held racist views because of that. And maybe still do, though I believe I have educated myself beyond most of that cultural ignorance. How are you doing with that?

In my business, if I have a great month, I am happy.... but I dont take that as any indication that the next month will be as great....


If, however, I see a long slow steady increase in my business's income, I feel more comfortable and assured that the next month will very likely follow the pattern.

It only makes sense.

I hate analogies like this.

Let's pretend you see slow and steady increases in your business income and then suddenly your income drops precipitously such that not only are you not earnng money, you're losing it. This continues for over a year. Then you begin to make money again, albeit slowly and it'll take you 20 years to get back to where you otherwise would have been if you suferred no downturn, and like 4 years to get back to where you were before you started losing money.

Slow recoveries are not better than fast ones. The pace of recovery is largely dependent on the events that recipitated the downturn. Financial crises recessions are notorious for slow, U-shaped recoveries while FED-induced recessions to prevent inflation are typically V-shaped.

What does u-shaped mean? A larger bottom of the pie not seeing any recovery?

No, it means a sharp downturn, followed by stagnation/very slow growth, then a fast rise hence the 'U' (look at the pattern of the letter, that is what the recovery looks like). Meaning the recovery is long and drawn out. A 'V' recovery is also reflective of the shape of the letter.

This video clearly shows that George Bush warned Congress starting in 2003, that this economic [financial] crisis was coming if something was not done. But Congress refused to listen, along with the arrogant Congressman, Barney Frank. This video says it all. The liberal media reportedly did not want this video on You Tube; it was taken off. This link is of the same video, but is routed through Canada . Everyone in America needs to see this before it is yanked off the Internet again!

Wasn't Congress republican in 2003, along with a repub prez? So how does Barney Frank get the blame for this?

Glaringly, horrifficly obvious, especially considering the garish skewerings routinely issued to you here.

Yep! You have to admit he's got pluck! Imagine the uncountable number of skewerings he has gotten just since you've been gone...and he comes back every day. You can't buy pluck like that.

Good to see you!

Non-linear rate of change. V-shaped would be a more linear rate of change.

Slowly building performance compared to a constant growth rate

Good lord....didn't you guys take math?

Darla:

A U shaped graph is one that has a binomial value (X=Y^2) called a parabolum. A U shape chart shows that there is a mathematical relationship which has a solution that can be solved by a quadratic equation (X^2 + XY +Y^2).

A V shaped graph is one that has an absolute value of X =[Y]. A V shape chart is literally as defined. It has an absolute value. If 1 is 1, then -1 is also 1. If 2 is 2 then -2 is also 2.

A long slow recovery is generally longer lasting and better than a quick one. It is also true that the worse the fall, the longer it takes to recover. Bush's fall was the second worse in history.
