The actual growth in the size of our economy was 7.9%.
What was published was the more conservative 4.2% inflation-adjusted figure.

You're claiming they revised the figure downward by 46.8% (almost cutting it in half) as an adjustment for inflation?

That's one helluva inflation rate we're experiencing.

Either that, or you've gone back to ingesting hallucinogens again.

No, I'm simply saying that they subtracted 3.7% inflation from 7.9% GDP growth to get the 4.2% that was reported.
