GNP is not a good way to measure the economy. WARS, diseases and disasters can increase the GNP. I would take a look at your spending and how far you are going in the red because Bush hit a home run in the red. This will affect future generations. I posted an article on on GNP while back. An increase in GNP is not always a good thing. Actually it may have been the GDP? Whatever, if you go so far in the red and believe everything is peachy you are in for a rude awakening.

Just out of idle couriousity what's the growth of Canada's GNP? the Unemployement rate?, the interest rates? the inflation rate? what was the percentage of job growth last quarter? the quarter before that? Of the new jobs created in Canada are nearly 60% of them in the service sector where the average pay is higher then the national average like in the USA? Are there more people employed then ever before(actual numbers of people)?
Not sure what any of this has to do with the current discussion. Sounds like a Paul Martin tactic to evade the issue and hes a liberal by the way.
