    Where are you getting that 3.5% figure? Have you forgotten what the argument was. Go back and reread. Come back when you're prepared to argue intelligently.

    How was 3.1% GDP second worst scarecrow? Here's the data again:

    [i]Average REAL GDP by decade.
    1900's = 3.9%
    1910's = 2.9%
    1920's = 3.4%
    1930's = 1.0%
    1940's = 5.6%
    1950's = 4.2%
    1960's = 4.5%
    1970's = 3.2%
    1980's = 3.1%
    1990's = 3.2%
    I didn't list the 1910s (if you read further up, you'll see I said "at least going back to the 1930s). So, if your data is right, then it would be the third-worst of the century, including those early decades.

    Yes, of course it does.

    I made a factual claim, which the wingnuts here haven't been able to dispute, which has reduced them to blubbering and cowering behind personal insults and various graphical memes. It's been fun to watch them shit on themselves that way, don't you think?

    Your mistake was jumping into the thread without reading the top post. Give that a shot. I laid out the data showing how healthcare inflation in the period following Obamacare becoming law has been historically low. I also provided the links so you can confirm for yourself.

    They are laughable fantasies that never come true snowflake. But you cling to them if it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling mkay?

    I am not shoving anything onto anyone; the ARA was a Democratic/Obama legislation and had NOTHING to do with Bush snowflake. Flail away snowflake.

    That fact that you called it REAL GDP and it wasn't is the only thing you can't seem to grasp snowflake. Flail some more.

    No it isn't; no matter how much you desperately flail on the subject.

    Inflation adjusted GDP snowflake. I never see anyone desperately trying to measure the added GDP for a given decade and argue it means something. That's laughably stupid and for morons to attempt.

    What would you know about intelligence you arrogant, pompous fool. 3.5% was the average REAL GDP under Reagan you low IQ dullard.

    I am still trying to understand how you think 3.1% is bad scarecrow. Getting dizzy with all that spinning?

    No you did not scarecrow; you constructed a strawman and then demanded everyone prove you wrong. It's moronic, but then, you do moron very well as illustrated by this thread.
