Od razu uprzedzajac komentarz Felusiaka - nie jest to zaden "watek
osobisty", bo Cie osobiscie nie znam i nawet nie jestem pewien czy
mam ochote Cie poznac. Jestes po prostu forumowa ikona pewnego
standardu myslenia, ktory wedlug mnie przynosi niesamowicie wiele
szkody USA od ladnych kilku lat i od tych kilku lat prowadzimy na
forum dyskucje, w ktorych ten standard staram sie jak najtwarciej
krytykowac, a Ty zazarcie go bronisz. W takich watkach jak ten
odnosze sie do tego standardu uzywajac Twojego nicka forumowego.
A teraz do tematu:
"Testifying before Congress, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke
conducted a master class in the art of understatement last
week. "The economic situation has become distinctly less favorable
since the time of our July report," he said. Consumers, who account
for 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, have been hamstrung by
the "continuing contraction of the U.S. housing market," rising
energy costs and slowing job creation. And thanks to "tighter credit
conditions for some firms," business spending should be "subdued"
for the next several months.
Distinctly less favorable? Subdued? It calls to mind Japanese
Emperor Hirohito's comment on Aug. 14, 1945, that "the war situation
has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage."
