I think this article is politically biased. It is not only about economy.

  And it's wrong, too.

    Indeed. This falls under the category of Not Even Wrong...it's just a partisan political rant, and it makes me sad to see it here. I mean..."Recessionistas"? Seriously? Are we children? Someone else, please flag this thing. At the very least, any intelligent analysis of what's going on with last quarter's growth should probably include a discussion of the economic stimulus checks that were sent out (and spent) during the same quarter. That money is gone now, and it's pretty widely believed that the growth numbers were a related aberration. Here's a non-partisan discussion of the same topic: http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/08/28/gdp/ http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/08/28/gd...

  The submitter said "I didn't submit this as a political piece, although at the end of the article the author makes a political argument (and it's from a political rag)" So I guess that's been established. And one would expect a Republican talking about the positive results of Republican policies to be biased, wouldn't you?

    My point is that the article is much more political than the submitter tells us. The political part is not at the end, the whole article is political. Maybe, as I'm not American and I don't live in the US, my understanding of the comment of the submitter is different than yours.
