Even with * revised GDP numbers, 1st 3 years is 1.9% annual growth! http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/dn/home/gdp.htm As most folks know, Bush has been busy making history more accurate by revising the GDP numbers posted over the years. I thought it might be fun to see what the results were at this point based on 12/31 to 12/31 compounded rates of growth after inflation is removed by using constant year 2000 dollars - as shown at BEA,DOC.GOV.com) So for 3 years Bush has (10397.2/0817) 1.9% and Clinton's 8 years (9817/7336.6) 3.7% and Reagan/Bush 12 years (7336.6/5161.7) 2.9% (yea tax cuts) with Bush 4 yrs (7336.6/6742.7) 2.1% and Reagan 8 y (6742.7/5161.7) 3.3963% (up from 3.33 before Bush chgs) and Carter 4 yr (5167.7/4540.9) 3.2854% and Nixon/Ford 8 yrs (4540.9/3652.7) 2.7581% and JFK/Johnson 8 yrs (3652.7/2501.8) 4.84% Wonder if the financial media will notice? :-) BELOW FROM THE BEA: first number is in current dollar - second number for each year is the GDP restated into inflation removed constant year 2000 dollars 1960 526.4 2,501.8 1961 544.7 2,560.0 1962 585.6 2,715.2 1963 617.7 2,834.0 1964 663.6 2,998.6 1965 719.1 3,191.1 1966 787.8 3,399.1 1967 832.6 3,484.6 1968 910.0 3,652.7 1969 984.6 3,765.4 1970 1,038.5 3,771.9 1971 1,127.1 3,898.6 1972 1,238.3 4,105.0 1973 1,382.7 4,341.5 1974 1,500.0 4,319.6 1975 1,638.3 4,311.2 1976 1,825.3 4,540.9 1977 2,030.9 4,750.5 1978 2,294.7 5,015.0 1979 2,563.3 5,173.4 1980 2,789.5 5,161.7 1981 3,128.4 5,291.7 1982 3,255.0 5,189.3 1983 3,536.7 5,423.8 1984 3,933.2 5,813.6 1985 4,220.3 6,053.7 1986 4,462.8 6,263.6 1987 4,739.5 6,475.1 1988 5,103.8 6,742.7 1989 5,484.4 6,981.4 1990 5,803.1 7,112.5 1991 5,995.9 7,100.5 1992 6,337.7 7,336.6 1993 6,657.4 7,532.7 1994 7,072.2 7,835.5 1995 7,397.7 8,031.7 1996 7,816.9 8,328.9 1997 8,304.3 8,703.5 1998 8,747.0 9,066.9 1999 9,268.4 9,470.3 2000 9,817.0 9,817.0 2001 10,100.8 9,866.6 2002 10,480.8 10,083.0 2003 10,983.9 10,397.2
