I think the end of this thread has arrived. Gordo says it best. We could analyze every economic indicator but it comes down society as a whole.

Ben;

Your chart is wrong; GNP is registered in Trillions of dollars, not billions.

Ben;

The chart is right. The reason the chart is in Billions is because GNP Unadjusted did not break 999 Billion until July of 1969. You are correct in that the GNP is measured in Trillions but $14,321.90 (measured in Billions) would equal $14.32 Trillion. :wink:

I knew it was an oversight. Had it been someone else who I knew had no clue what they were talking about I would have went into battle mode. I enjoy a little board drama everyone once and a while :lol:
