You realize the 2Q number was a bounceback from the ridiculously low 1Q number right? Look at the more normalized/smoothed data in #59.
We can't always be seeing all the same things at the same time. While the U.S. economy's not where we want it we'd be wrong to say everything that Americans produce is bad.
Things are what they are and U.S. real percapita GDP is at an all time high. Sure, political hacks can do with that fact whatever they want but what you and I care about is that from 1947 to the '07 recession U.S. GDP growth (adjusted for population and inflation) averaged two percent yearly, and since then the average has been only two tenths of a percent.

I should have pinged you also to #65.
Didn't you get the memo? Not an issue obviously. GDP indicates we are in boom times. /s
Sorry. : (
I’m not at all surprised that Elizabeth Warren would jump on this. Right up her ally.
That was exactly what I was thinking, made to order or the upcoming elections --dig up something fours years old to blame big business for our "un-recovery". As far as I can tell this is all form and no substance; there's no "there" there.

I listened to their podcast and I agree but they have a way of elevating people like her to hero status. She lost her lawsuit and is appealing now. When I think of whistle blower I think of somebody who has worked some place for a long period of time that thinks things are going wrong. Sounds like she started secretly taping after just a couple of months at the Fed.
