(Economic) Facts Are Stubborn Things

I only have a BS in econ, but if I would've stated that the 70s had only positive growth, my alma mater would've told me to give back my degree. Oh, and someone needs to remind Cactus that GDP estimates are lagging indicators, not leading indicators. And someone also needs to remind Cactus that the BLS has adjusted numbers downward under the current administration.

Cactus never tires of discrediting the Phd program at his alma mater.
