   Useless numbers really.   
      
   Sort of like saying I am OK as I am down from bleading 16 ounces per   
   minute to 15 ounces.   
      
   Fact remains, people are still losing jobs, increasing losing net income   
   and government is getting less revinue fortified with inflationary   
   debt-spend.   
      
   THe only silver lining here is maybe the unemployed will have time to   
   realize big fat liberalised in size government isn't the answer.
