A significant portion of the "solid growth" in this headline number
could be the result of understated BEA inflation data. Using deflators
from the BLS results in a more modest 2.33% growth rate. And using
deflators from the Billion Prices Project puts the growth rate even
lower, at 1.28%. ... All that said, we have -- on the official record --
solid economic growth and 5.3% unemployment. What more could Ms. Yellen
want? ''
