Yeah, the whole, "6.5% is huge and puts us back to pre-pandemic growth but people expected 8% so fuck my life" isn't a counterpoint; it's just a dumb headline.

 

I feel like we were all useful idiots in the 2010s by talking about "real unemployment" using a metric rarely talked about that just happened to come up only because a Democrat was in the White House; let's not go the same route as GDP easily outpaces the previous president's supposed "V rebound."

I'll never forget how jeb bush thought his winning message was to pull a gdp growth number from thin air and keep repeating it as if he had a real plan to achieve that number.  A number that, at the time, was not realistically possible. 4%.
