          "growth slowed". To make it appear to the average thicko that prices are going down. A bit like when inflation falling implies to them that prices are falling.

          Do they really understand nothing of second derivatives?

            Or "cutting the deficit" implies to them that the government is actually taking in more than it spends....

                  Excellent, my house is the main breadwinner in our family.

                  I'm glad this govt is doing everything to support "hardworking houses".

                    Do you send your other houses out to work too?
