This report is certainly consistent with an economy that is trying to make a recovery, but a weak recovery. When you start to back out the volatile components, it's not all that weak. We're picking it up, but these numbers tell us the economy will come back slowly. |
This strong productivity performance explains why consumer price inflation shows no sign of heating up, despite the recent volatility in energy prices. Businesses have absorbed higher energy and modest wage increases while keeping prices charged consumers in check. |
This team is not one that's going to roll over and go away. We're going to scratch, we're going to claw, we're going to put good at-bats together, try to get a couple of runs here and there, bite into the deficit a little bit and punch ahead. Tonight it worked out. |
This time of year, with so few games left, I still think we need to do some coaching we can't just let them run and not teach in certain areas, but in these situations you need to get the points no matter how you do it. Then we'll worry about the other stuff after. |
This transaction was closely scrutinized. The safeguards are in place and the president believes it should be allowed to move forward. We also recognize that members of Congress want some additional information and we are glad to provide them with that information. |
This was a decision made by commanders and it's important that the commanders have the flexibility to make these types of tactical decisions in order to prevail, and we're making a lot of important progress on the ground in Iraq but this is a difficult time period. |
This was a heck of a comeback from that kind of deficit against a team that controls the game. You just can't give anybody that kind of lead and expect to come back, but we just keep plugging away and as long as we get Gerry some looks he's going to make his share. |
This was a huge step forward for our program. We had a great tournament ,and the icing on the cake was our ability to hit five balls in play on a very demanding and challenging 18th hole while the two other teams we were trailing only hit one ball in play combined. |
This was something that I don't think we could count on, but we were prepared for it. We talked quite a bit about it (Tuesday) as the first round was unfolding, and once it got past about the 20th pick, we were pretty confident that he was going to be there for us. |
This White House has a knack for evading prosecution. The only way for justice to be served is for thousands to stand up and demand that charges stick against an administration that has set aside more than a quarter billion dollars to push propaganda on the public. |
This will help them. Everyone thinks it's four games in, but for all those guys, it's eight games in. Those young guys, in particular the rookies and second-year guys, not only is the season long for them, but they played more snaps in the preseason than most guys. |
This will not be funding religion. It is not the religious aspect of what they that is getting funding, it is the community service aspect. These are not going to be programs that preach religion, these are faith-based programs that help people improve their lives. |
This year boat sales are much better. Last year, they were saying gasoline would be $5 a gallon by summer. It's leveled out around $2 in this area and a lot of people have now adjusted to that. We're seeing more young couples with kids who are interested in buying. |
This year we looked at our funds and we didn't need as much as we took in last year with the tax rate. We didn't need that same tax rate, so we reduced it a penny, which is a little bit below what the effective tax rate was. That's the way we always do our budgets. |
Those countries with large current account deficits, such as the U.S. and Australia, haven't been penalized by seeing their currencies drop. In other words, financial markets currently are ignoring current account balances, but that's not to say that will continue. |
