doesn't GDP use GAAP profits? Because although cash flow is rising I wasn't aware GAAP profits were rising too much, given the various options expensing all all that?

You're probably right though, I'd love to see a chart of profits this decade vs last. Of course, last decade had double the listed companies on the exchanges so you'd have to double the earnings of those left just to have a steady state.

This decade is just another signal that trickle down doesn't work though, if in fact profits are the key to the high GDP.

Very true, and the portion of GDP paid out in wages is dropping like a rock.

The share of profits in GDP is rising rapidly. That's the explanation.
