>>This is unclear to me. How are the bottoms chopped off? One of the most common gimmicks to manipulate the minds of readers is to shorten bar caharts to show differences but to omit critical context. It is statistical trickery used to create large differences from small ones. It is combined with a scaling factor that misrepresents data. Often referred to as truncated graphs. >>When you say "kept it down for nearly eight years," do you mean it stayed under 3%? As previously indicated we should have seen a quick recovery (speed of recovery is normally related to speed of the crash). But we had a “jobless recovery” for an extended period because od ignorant policy, like ACA. Just stupid shit.
