Finally, a rate of growth that is sustainable. Didn’t you just hate it when growth varied between 2 and 4 percent? Made me dizzy. Now if they would just stop inventing all those new inventions!

Let’s not forget that GDP really grew 1/4% in the second quarter. The 1% figure is multiplied by 4 — annualized in the government’s terms. Exaggerated to make it sound better is the real reason.

it’s a lot worse if you look at the numbers in terms of # ounces of gold

the fiat currency is used to smooth out the fluctuations... but it’s also masking the reality

The economy has expanded just 1.5 percent

SO figure this is really about 1.0% and we'll hear about it closer to the end of the year.

The economy has expanded just 1.5 percent over the past year, too weak to create the job growth necessary for a self-sustaining expansion

1.5 percent is less than the inflation fudging the Obama administration has been dking, so we actually experienced negative growth.
