    Surely urine would drip down the graph and would cause untold arguments on here as to where the urine line actually ends?

    Succesful stimulus plan then.

    I just wonder what the figures may show next quarter, as apparently car manufacturers are reporting steep drops in sales atfer the "cash for clunkers" came to an end.

    The problem now, is how do they maintain, or encourage, real economic growth.

    Those nice statisticians in the USA even give you the number excluding motor vehicle output.

    It would have been 1.9% without motor vehilces contribution.

    It's a pretty amazing turnaround.

    For the US (and the UK too) the interesting bit for me for a while has been what is the route from recession to normality? How do Governments finance the huge deficits that have been run up without crowding out domestic investment? How can Central Banks keep selling on Government debt while keeping base rates low?


    I wouldn't be surprised if the UK doesn't have at least 1.5% annualised growth this quarter.

    Hi Graham. Im fine, thanks for asking. Hope you are well.

    It is a bull victory because house prices should be 40% down by now.
