Does this mean you also think that "the (US) economy is tanking" OR do you agree with me that the economy is NOT tanking?
He saying that using a single metric like GDP isn't sufficient for claiming that the economy isn't tanking. The economy != GDP. For many regular people, it's terrible right now.
