Liked this ' BUT ' - It's a constant and ongoing irritation to me ( so don't know how you feel ..?? )

when ' Newby Interviewers ' ( like this chap ) , don't seem to have done any homework to find out sufficient per who you are , what your background is - and more especially how they need to be far more appreciative of having the opportunity to learn at the feet of a true - ' Master ' .

This apart and not wishing to question your arithmetic ( 8% US budget deficit to GDP ) , but just to say that where any official US numbers are concerned ( Fed / Treasury / CRB / BLS ..et al ) , all I ever do is double the official figure and sometimes add a percent ort two just for good measure , and generally I tend not to be that far wide of the mark when looking at what figures John Williams and the Chapwood Index arrive at - but then I am just less than gifted amateur
