- First of all Mr. Duffy, when did you become a global economist?
- More imporantly, how did you figure out there was a global recession?
- Was that by heads or tails?
-
- The fact is that we are not in a global recession. The U.S.
- economy<contrary to popular belief> is growing around 3%. Japan, which
- hasn't experienced the kind of growth they did over the last ten years,
- is growing around 3% also. China's economy is growing around 10% and
- recently agreed on importing more from the U.S.. Germany's stock ex-
- change<DAX> happens to strong due to the unification. Europe overall
- will be moving toward growth due to the Treaty of Maastrich, which
- in case you didn't know plans to unify most of Europe with one common
- currency and free trade also. I must not also leave out NAFTA, which
- is the North American Free Trade Agreement, which(in case you have
- been living in a cave for the last 6 months) will promote free trade
- and no tariffs between Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. by 1996.
-
- What I am saying Mr. Duffy is that the world is FAR from a global
- recession. I am not trying to be argumentative- I just thought you
- should have done a little reading before you posted.
