And I've written about it, and I have over 350 published articles and chapters of three books, mostly on machining and the business of manufacturing, including world trade, taxation, and related subjects. What I know is that your number is baloney. That's not unusual here, especially when, as I notice now, this message is cross-posted. You can't provide a source for your number because it's a crock. We could have discussed it and you would see *why* it's baloney, but you apparently would rather believe your fantasies than find out what the truth of it is. That's pretty interesting, coming from someone who doesn't know the difference between markup and margin. Phil, hang around, you obviously have some knowledge to share, and do so in a respectful manner. Ed pontificates at great length, but if you call him on his "facts". he rolls out his resume and resorts to personal attacks pretty quickly. Just skip over Ed's posts and this NG is a lot more useful. |

Yup, you two are made for each other. He's spouting about GDP but didn't know that imported steel isn't counted in it ("for instance govt purchases are included in GDP, such as buying steel from china"); says that services aren't really part of it, but quotes a figure that's *defined* as goods plus services; then he pulls a number out of the air for taxes but doesn't know where it came from. He must be a lot like the teachers you had in school, RB. -- Ed Huntress |
