"So, maybe you'd like to tell the good folks how sitting money adds anything to the GNP"

No it doesn't and when did I say it did? Perhaps you could explain why an absurd question means anything because someone did not answer it.

I put forth two quotes. You can determine if they are correct or not.

But your method of determining facts consists of ad hominem attacks rather than studying the actual facts.

You won't answer questions about statements you make but you demand that I answer about a statement I did not make.

Mr Amos:

You read implications into things. I did nothing but present two quotes. It is you that must put some sort of rhetorical spin on your posts as if it adds to the validity or invalidity of the statement.
