Boom and Bust The Latest Economic News Is Good - But Not Good Enough, Boston Globe 
HAS THE ECONOMY suddenly shifted into high gear? Make no mistake: The unexpected quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) figures released by the commerce department recently, which showed an annual growth rate of 7.2 percent, come along rarely and will probably have 6 to 12 months of ripple effects. At last the economy will start producing some new jobs on balance after the longest drought since the Great Depression, and maybe a few people will even get a raise. Friday's better-than-expected employment report, which saw an increase of 126,000 jobs in October, was sub-par for this stage of a recovery but may be a harbinger of more jobs to come.

The solid growth is not merely a lucky accident. This economy was not going to stay in the muck forever in the face of enormous military and security spending, as well as two of the largest tax cuts in the nation's history - even if they did go largely to the rich. But there are many ways to stimulate an economy in the short run. For example, you could eliminate all environmental regulations. Reduced costs would stimulate all kinds of companies to pump up investment. But what kind of nation would that leave us?
