Bart,

It may have already been pointed out or discussed, but do you or anyone have a comparison take on the "unadulterated" GDP as compared to the latest gov figure?

Moi? Have charts? :eek: ;)


Mine are unusual since I use John Williams corrections to CPI instead of the official deflator (or the one he calculates himself at http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data) to help determine real GDP. But they do provide an alternate view and also allow personal interpretation depending on how much one believes the various CPI corrections.
