Dim Future?

This entry was posted in bush Economics Election 2004 kerry on by

Sadly, No! hammers David Frum and then Brad Delong piles on and regarding Frum’s discussion of Canadian economic growth asks:

Why does Frum think–as he appears to–that increases in the government have consumed 2/3 of economic growth–45 as a share of 67–rather than 1/8 of economic growth–60 as a share of 490? As a Harvard man, I cannot shrink from the necessary and inevitable conclusion: Yale must be in some way responsible.
That Yale processed both Frum and bush does not bode well for the next 4 years be it a bush or kerry administration.

Iraq Occupation Ended

Reaffirming what Modulator reported a month ago the bush administration has already taken up the pre-election drumbeat that the occupation has ended. Paul Bremer tells us:

…the Coalition Provisional Authority will cease to exist on June 28th, at which point the occupation will end and the Iraqi interim government will assume and exercise full sovereign authority on behalf of the Iraqi people.
Has anyone seen any sign of troops being pulled out? Nope. This is pure semantic BS on the part of the administration.

The bush immigration plan?

A lot of folks have been unhappy about bush’s immigration plan. Some folks on the left think it does not open things enough and some on the right think he’s opening the borders like a sieve. Perhaps, though, this is just diversion.,
The true bush administration policy may be the consequence of many other administration actions and ultimately reverse the flow of people across US borders. Really, who would want to come to a regime every bit as oppressive as communism.
