Wrong. It's the economy that doesn't replace lost jobs that's the stagnant
economy. 3 million and still waiting says that that's the current economy.


Wrong. An economy that doesn't replace lost jobs is a declining economy.

Au contraire, it is you who are wrong. My dictionary says that "stagnant" is
defined as "not flowing or moving". An economy that has failed to replace three
million lost jobs is therefore, by definition, not moving or inert, and
therefore could be called "stagnant".

It still sucks, by whatever name you want to call it in the hopes that we'll get
into a big hoo haa
over its title rather than its smell. Declining or stagnant, it's no feather in
your hero's cap.

So there.
