Sorry man, but in order for your chart to be true, than it is me using the correct numbers.Cannonpointer » 16 Feb 2014 1:37 pm » wrote:
Make up your mind. In your math, you show -0.2 as the third number, using the October fiscal year as the measuring stick. But in your follow-on explanation, you use -0.2 as the hand-off year, using the election year as the measuring stick. This type of mathematical mishmash is poor presentation, son.
I will get to your presentation soon, so please: Try to refine it in the interim, make it less dishonest.
Let's review again, shall we?
Annual GDP:
1977 4.6
1978 5.6
1979 3.2
1980 -0.2
1981 2.6
Your graph shows Carter's number at 3.4% average growth during his Presidency
1977 through 1980 (4.6 + 5.6 + 3.2 + -0.2) / 4 = 3.4
1978 through 1981 (5.6 + 3.2 + -0.2 + 2.6) / 4 = 2.8
According to your own graph and numbers, in order to get a 3.4% gdp, Carter took an economy running at 4.6% and handed it off at
-0.2%
So are disputing your own graph, or are you just wrong about the numbers?
Math is hard for liberals.
