Actually Katrina helped economic growth. Net worth is down but growth is
up. That is what I hate about the way they measure the economy. If
everyone had everything they wanted, according to the economists, that would
be bad because growth would be zero. Or how about ignoring a horrible
balence sheet just because the income statement is good.
