This was about as good as it gets.
Lets see who reports it as 8% (Q to Q) instead of annualized.
I looked at the raw data and real chained GDP was up 7.4% in 3Q from 2Q, though on a current dollar basis it was up 8.4%.
I'd be amazed if anyone in the MSM knew the difference.
Probably the same folks who reported the decline a couple of quarters ago using an annualized format!
