As we can see from this graph . If you take inflation into account then we are in a depression -2% GPD not 1.9% growth. But the media lies.We should keep posting this graph. There is no economic growth because the liars in the media don't take inflation into account. So things costs 10% more which is bad and lowers our standard of living and so they say consumers are spending 10% more and so we have “growth” . Inflation is not growth. They keep printing money and borrowing which lowers the value of money and to call this growth is the biggest lie ever

rurgan, Yup ... There's reason why BLS stats have been heavily 'improved' since the mid 1980's under both D's and R's, i.e. to hide the erosion of wealth from the US and the American middle class. See my post below
