If you look at the average pay per American it’s been dropping faster than population growth. Common sense tells you that the average income times the amount of Americans should give you the total output of the economy, the GNP. That yields a negative number. Try finding a reputable site that shows GNP is negative. I looked and could find nobody with any standing. (Shadow Statistics looks like they are just trying to sell subscriptions)
I meant to say the CHANGE in GNP is negative.
