We're entering the new prosperity era and some years from now the forthcoming period will be viewed as golden, featuring steady growth and rebalancing.0

Interest rates won't rise for some time yet.0 -

I note you have a new favourite word. Might be worth getting the spelling right.0 -

It appears every inconvinient question is a strawman lately....followed up swiftly by "ha, you spelt a word wrong".
I guess this kinda proves that you simply shouldn't question the wisdom of the rose tint crew...let alone ask them to explain their thoughts!!
We still don't have an answer really. Just that economic stimulus and rates should rise "when wages have more inflation".0 -

Another strawman.
You asked a question along the lines of 'given the improving economy when should economic stimulus be withdrawn'. You didn't like the answers/ opinions which usually means death for a thread.Graham_Devon wrote: »I guess this kinda proves that you simply shouldn't question the wisdom of the rose tint crew...let alone ask them to explain their thoughts!!
Only in your world is this proof.0 -

Never! I mean, really? I suppose this is too? How very convinient!
I haven't put my thoughts across by the way, so unsure how you fathom I don't like the answers. Just questioned the answers, that's all. This seems to have agrivated you. Nice to see you running to everyones aid though

inconvinient - don't have a problem with that - obviously a typo.
If 'monetry' was a one-off typo I would have let it go but as you've used it multiple times in debate about monetary policy I thought you'd want to know.0 -

I think we all know that the recovery is going to be a grind but if every thread with a little good news has to be destroyed it'll be harder than I thought.0 -

It doesn't have to be destroyed. I only asked if props and monetry stimulus could start being removed, in response to rinoas post and title.
You've come running in like his knight in shining armour and have done your very best to protect him by attempting to twist the dicussion and move away from the question ever since. You then complain that the thread is "destroyed" as if it's somehow my fault.
I guess this is a strawman though.0
