rakedog said:Strange. He passes his budget plan in late 2001. In 2002, our economy goes down. You kind of contradicted yourself.
The economy went down in 2000. You are the one contradicting yourself. At least I'm not the walking contradiction man.

"The panel of economists that serves as the official timekeeper for the nation's recessions is considering moving the starting date for the most recent economic decline back to November or December of 2000, a member of the group said today, confirming a report that appeared in The Wall Street Journal.
"We have discussed it already and there seems to be some inclination to move the date" to some time in the last three months of 2000, said Victor Zarnowitz. He is a member of the National Bureau of Economic Research's business cycle dating committee, which determines the widely accepted start and end dates to U.S. recessions.
The seven-member panel had earlier decided that the recession began in March 2001 and ended in November that year. President Bush took office in January 2001.
NBER is a private, nonprofit economic research group. Zarnowitz, an economist with the Conference Board, another private research group, said the dating decision will be nonpolitical, based solely on recently revised government economic data.

UC Berkeley is ranked top among the UC system, UCLA is second, and Barbara and San diego are tied for third.
Pay more, you get more. That simple. If UCB is ranked the top, you should pay more for it. Again, you aren't speaking too accurately because you are much too young to know about this.
