The GDP Revisions


The most recent BEA GDP release not only was disappointing for 2Q2011 (1.3%), but the revisions were deep and way down, including an 80% downward revision for 1Q2011. Invictus at The Big Picture blog presented this Fed graph showing the shocking changes.

How can the BEA data be that far off over such a long period of time?
