    etc.

    Samuel Brittain , yesterday's FT

    " I have a table of the behavior of the main......economies since their pre-recession peak of 07-08. Canada heads the list with a net gain of real GDP of 4.1% The US comes next with 2.2% followed by Germany with 1.7.

    France is still  0.8% behind its earlier peak, Japan is 1.9% short..........

    These are ....historical records, not forecasts. The discrepancies are too large to be explained by demography. The US must be doing something right......"

    I must have missed the WSJ's coverage.

    Not hard since I haven't read it since the day after Vince Foster's suicide and  its despicable editorial saying it didn't regret their campaign against him which -as later appeared, according to his diary- almost certainly was the proximate cause.

    What's the opposite of Nil nisi  bonum?

    Thanks for the referral, I used one of my FT 8 articles per month to read the whole thing.

    Speaking of compare/contrast, those on the left who promote much more and much bigger stimulus for the U.S. than Democratic general consensus is willing to provide might take a look at wassup in Argentina right now.

    There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.

    Omni nisi Malum? or Malum est?

    It is funny but your short phrase I think comes from:

    Nil nisi bonum de mortuis dicere or

    Do not speak ill of the dead!

    And that was before Satan purchased WSJ.

    hah!

    Your Latin  like your political positions is completely correct.
