The GDP has been fussed with over the years to reflect a more positive outlook. If you go back to how it was figured in 1980 you get a very different picture of the Bush years and even of the Clinton years. Those years weren't quite so overheated for most of us. The Bush years look like 8 years of recession.
I had written before about how the figures we were being given did not look right and had posited some of my own. I have now found a site, Shadow Government Statistics, that does this for me. Only some is available without subscription. But enough for me to see the depth of the lies.
