Seeing that the BEA is going back and adjusting the data under the new methodology back to 1929, that might not be necessary. Funny how Schiff skewers the government for wanting to boost the number for political purposes (as probably is true), but neglects to mention how it did so for his own personal financial reasons (more CNBC appearances and newsletter subscriptions, or however he makes money from the rubes nowadays).
Partisan stat mangling is a serious issue that shouldn't be contaminated with child like rants from the likes of Schiff. He butchered the topic leaving out glaring problems and gratuitously tossing in pure nonsense. Ah well, who needs pundits anyway. Like, these days we can all find this stuff out for ourselves.
