Real USA GDP Numbers - Hey Jennifer

[Moby]

Why won't people simply look at the numbers. They exist. They're not hard to find.

OK. Here's the break down again.

Reagan averaged 3.4% growth
George H averaged 2.3% growth
Clinton averaged 4.1% growth
George W hasn't had a single year that comes close to Clinton's average

Why do people think the republicans are better for the economy?

More importantly - why try to throw around numbers that mean nothing when they are regulated now to be an average of 4.0 over the entire year - so they get corrected by the OMB at the end of the year to ensure that the number equals 20% over 5 years - thats in the OMB's handbook if you need to get a source.

And the most important - the number doesnt mean anything unless you compare it to National Debt - that then gives you a number thats meaningful - and unfortunately right now is way out of bounds - which is why everyone is still predicting a total market collapse within 2 months or so when you combine that with other indicators

[Jennifer]

Because we get our numbers from valid, historic sources and not bloggers and spin meisters.

Clinton averaged closer to 2.6%. Reagen was around 3.4% as you posted. But let's not over inflate Clinton here.
