We Are All Spaniards

Here in the States our economy is growing
at an average 4% rate, right in the sweet spot for avoiding inflation,
etc. We are humming right along like we always do.

*hehe* good one.

Don't let the media fool you, Martin. Our economy *is* humming along, and
doing better than ever.

Remember, this is an election year, and the Republicans are in office. That
means that the ONLY economic news receiving popular airtime is the bad news.

Personally, our hotel business is up 30% over last year. Now part of that
is the fact that we were brand new -- but do you REALLY think a luxury
suites hotel would be doing so well if the U.S. economy was doing poorly?

Don't believe everything you read. Anyone who is unemployed right now in
the U.S. probably have a reason to be unemployed.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is
surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are
fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are
fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical
devotion
to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our
weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

The company I work for ownes/operates 12 hotels in five states and that
division is doing well. Our other division developes mini and strip malls.
That division is also doing very well of late.

One thing with the economy the last couple years is the amazing growth of
people going into self-employment. There was an article recently of (IIRC)
948,000 new businesses being started over the past months (don't recall how
many months).

Spanish people have quite logically concluded that sending troops to Iraq
and defeating Saddam Hussein did absolutely nothing to keep them safe from
Al Qaida. Why would they conclude otherwise?


A basic education in history?

Churchill warned that appeasement was feeding the crocodile in hopes he would
eat you last. He did not say that fighting the crocodile was a guarantee of
safety, just that appeasement was certain to get you eaten sooner or later.

how you come to put Germany's economy together with France's? they don't have

really much in common (except the same market, the EU).


Unemployment in Germany is 10%, what is it in France?

Yeah, I've got one. There are no jobs in New Jersey for a telecommunications
systems engineer or C coder. Glad to know things are doing so well in Iowa, but
it sucks on this side of the country.

George, can you tunnel out of Jersey and jump the barbed wire fences across
to another state?

I have family reasons to keep me in NJ for at least two more years and probably
six more.

Sorry, George. I know how that goes. (I was stuck in Wisconsin for decades
for the same reasons.)

Can you take your skills independent?
