Last Friday, Director of the National Economic Counsel and former T.V. host Larry Kudlow said the U.S. economy is having its best economic growth in decades. Oddly enough during this interview Mr. Kudlow was pleading with the Federal Reserve for an emergency .50 basis point rate cut. In any case, Mr. Kudlow, a legend, who is known for his economic accuracy should be applauded for such an accurate statement.
Now, lets take a look at what the best economic growth in decades really looks like.
