They don’t give a rats about reality...they’ll only recognize it when we’re all crashing and burning.

Yes but that was just an example of what we can do without using pundits as a "source"..

and the GDP is best expressed in constant dollars.

For people not offended by "a wall of numbers" here's

Compare current president and past presidents using federal government economic data..

Updates for 2015 Qtr 1 and 2 are in the replies.

All data are sourced with links to the original source some of which lets you ask for the data you are looking for.

But graphs are impressive. That's for sure.

Never forget that the GDP is basically little more than a reflection of the supply of money. It is highly cited but is one of the most worthless and overused of all economic measures.

And this data is after the “tweaking, messaging, and cooking the books”. Imagine what the real story is? FRED is a FRAUD,

RE: "Never forget that the GDP is basically little more than a reflection of the supply of money. It is highly cited but is one of the most worthless and overused of all economic measures."

How so?

If you are referring to the chart I posted.. yes it's worthless by itself. I thought I explained that it was to show the FRED link; to wit, we do not need to wait for columnists to post FED/government charts and tables -- sometimes with no credit to the source. I asked for the GDP and took all the defaults.

Using constant dollars (2009 dollars) is what the chart needs to be meaningful. Again it was just to illustrate the FRED source. The source may have been in the posted article but if so I didn't see it. The link to the real source of the charts was needed IMO.

The nominal-dollar GDP however is used with the corresponding year's dollar expenditures in my "wall of numbers"; see link in my reply #24. Hover column headers and some columns for descriptions.

I used US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The path to the data is listed in the aforementioned link in my reply #24.

Charts are impressive but you cannot get thirty+ columns of data to compare on one chart.
