Reply #44: Hamburgers are manufactured products

[Lasher]

Remember when the administration tried to sell that snake oil early on, so that flipping burgers could be counted as manufacturing jobs? This was a clear tipoff that the numbers were being fudged. But after having gone through this thread I now have a better understanding of just how, and how much, Junior is lying about the economy.

Phantom GDP changes everything. For example, recent downward adjustment of actual GDP growth between 2003 and 2006 will surely make debt as a percentage of GDP look worse during Junior's tenure than it does in this graph:

And as we slowly start to realize that clothing made in China probably should not be considered part of the GDP in the United States, more downward revisions are sure to follow.

The economy is booming. The tax cuts are working. Support the troops. Stay the course. We have found the weapons of mass destruction. Nobody could have anticipated the breach of the levees. The moon is made of cheese. The earth is flat.
