You know, I read the 7.2% number last week, and I thought it was time for the NYTimes to shift seamlessly from "the economy is stagnant" to "the economy is overheating".
Give it time. Not even the intellectual whores at the NYTimes can turn on a dime. By the first of December we'll be hearing about the dangers of hyperinflation.
In the mean time, start ringing those Christmas cash registers! You just know the story in three weeks will be about how retailers are not meating their "expectations" of a 25% increase in sales this Holiday season. That's one story that can be filed a year in advance.
