No. But thanks for playing. They could have, but they didn't. Not in terms of normalizing by GDP.
But if that's your issue, I hope you just loooooove the Democrats.
If you knew anything about basic physics
I'm a mathematician. Physics is too easy.
you wouldn't worry too much about a dirty bomb. In fact, given the data on radiation hormesis, it might actually reduce the incidence of cancer and lead to greater public acceptance of nuclear power.
Oh, right. OK, will you let me set one off in your garage?
If you think a dirty bomb boogy-man is going to scare me
Yeah, what's 3000 lives, let's elect Democrats and get the same, but worse. And with the terrorism as well. Should be fun. I hear Hamas is celebrating.
The GDP "growth" is predominately the result of falsfying the CPI which even Fed members are finally, finally starting to admit is an inaccurate measure of inflation. Bush has surrounded himself with Neo-Keynesian types who believe currency debasement is the root of economic growth. Bush's free pills program alone added over a trillion to our unfunded liabilities.

I don't trust mathematicians with pencils much less hot isotopes. Several researchers I work with are currently deliberately increasing their background radiation levels for the purpose of stimulating DNA repair. I have a couple hot rocks around for these purposes as well.

We need to cut the Neo-Wilsonian Global Democratic Revolution BS and start killing jihadis wherever they are found. Bush has allowed nation building to become more important than fighting radical Islam.
