Do you read anything? The ecanned.com website says where they got the information at the bottom of the article. If the Census Bureau is "bogus" then heaven help us.

Let's assume that your assertion that the info on ecanned is bogus is correct. What possible reason would they have for posting bogus economic information about over 20 states?

"The Editors of eCanned.com will frequently post geographically tailored data analysis to the blogs of appropriate regions. This content is considered as open-source content. The use of this content is welcomed as long as eCanned.com is appropriately referenced. The data used to generate the geographically tailored data analysis will typically come from the public domain (i.e. Census Bureau) and will be properly referenced in the eCanned Blog Posts." (before you go off on that specious path, the added emphasis is mine)

You do understand that projections are not facts, right? Projections are merely estimates of what is expected at some point in time. Until these projections come to fruition and become facts, they are subject to being questioned.

4) Expected to create an additional 11-13,000 new jobs in the Columbus
area
5) Population growth expected to start in October of this year
6) Total population growth expected to top out in September of 2011
9) Total population growth projected to be 39,737 people

Notice a pattern here?

As for the first article you posted, Jeffrey Humphreys is the Director of the Selig Center and it sounds so similar to the article that was published in the Ledger. Georgia Trend was simply re-publishing what has been the subject of debate for months now. There's nothing new there either.

First off, you have a very weak argument. You just can't stand the fact that this is going to happen. Don't you think the United States military knows how to calculate these things? Did you come up with this info....hmmmm.....let me think.....NO. I noticed how you avoided several of the statements since they are facts. The government is a little smarter than you when it comes to calculating troop movements, growth, estimated economic impact, etc. So on than note, your credibility in this forum has dropped. When you have a good argument I will admit you do. I am an adult. But buddy, to have your argument based on "projections" is just plain weak. Will all this come out to be true...more than likely no. The population could end up being slightly smaller and the economic impact larger. Who knows. What I do know is that the U.S. Government has been working on this for years so I tend to believe them.

BTW, Selig is definitely a credible sourse. Do some research or give them a call.

Case closed

Are you guys ok? You guys seem to be getting upset over old info (2005 and 2007), based on statistical estimates. The two key words are statistical and estimates. They don't mean much, they just keep the mathematicians busy and keep the math illiterates confused. The only info that is true and factual are the poverty and initial unemployment numbers the state of GA compiles. The real info based on actual head counts and much larger sample sizes will be out in 2011 or 2012, at that point in the future you guys can reload and come out fighting. Please take a break. Try some exercise, it really does relieve stress. It's such a nice day, go for a walk in one of the numerous parks in the area.

No booming city has a near 24 percent poverty level.

Atlanta's poverty rate is 21% or so, and it's a booming city.

Remember we are talking about Columbus the economic oasis not Atlanta poverty.
Like comparing an apple to an orange.
Please stay on topic.....still waiting for your credible info.
