I understand, you're confused and don't want to admit it. Don't let it get you down.

No, I find myself responding to a very thick individual who answered my first question with a stupid reply.

Any body with a portion of a working mind could see I was asking a rhetorical question about the make-up of that 3.5% figure.

Furthermore, your answer was wrong.

A correct answer has not yet been made (hint: the excerpted text from Rush's site can get you there).

But, as I said, I give up; you're too thick ...

Geez.

GDP (Y) is a sum of Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Spending (G) and Net Exports (X - M).

Which one (which component) grew again?

The first 3 grew.

This was a stupid reply? How's that?

Any body with a portion of a working mind could see I was asking a rhetorical question about the make-up of that 3.5% figure.

So you didn't want to know what components of GDP grew.....okay.

Furthermore, your answer was wrong.

Really? Could you show me?
