Were looking at 1. 5 growth. That is better than no growth but still not typical recovery growth which is what worries greg smith. You have been looking at this for a long time. It is the strength of this recovery that concerns you. It is still percolating along but not robustly. What you worried about . It is percolating, you stole my thunder, you average two quarters out. Neil of i dont Connell Mcshane will come up with the chart. If you go back to 20122013 the Commerce Department this 2 growth rate seems to be the norm.
