Growing economy?

The growth rate in the past several years in the developed world has been the lowest in any economic expansion. In the US, around 1.5% lately and is only positive because the inflation rate calculated by the government (by which it is adjusted) is significantly under-estimated.

I don't think his was a political statement either, just that your implication that it's the result of growth doesn't seem accurate.

CPI is often ( generally? ) considered to overstate inflation.
