How come there were no 'dichotomy in economic numbers' under clinton ?? - We had a reasonable GDP of around 4% - full employment which corresponded with GDP - wages going up - retail constantly surpassing expectations In other words all the pieces fit together. But even with the growth we all could see in the 90s, still if the government tried to pass off an 8% GDP, EVEN THEN, I would have been skeptical because I know that established economies almost never grow at that rate. But with today's unemployment, bad retail and poor guidance from Intel among others, the GDP makes even less sense.
