BS!! We have been in negative growth for 2 years. You don’t believe these cooked numbers on anything.

There was an article couple months back about how the US government held off on reporting a spike in healthcare expenditures for a couple of quarters. When they did report them, they were used to claim that there was a big jump in quarterly GDP.

Besides them having been held, it also wasn't explicitly stated that the spike was caused by non-discretionary expenditures under the Obamacare individual mandate. Of course when you order people to spend money on something (under threat of penalizing them with a "tax") they're going to spend money.

That was Q32014. It came in at 5% but roughly 2% of that was ObamaCare spending.
