Actually sdduuuude I think that Mish’s chart is completely compatible with the arguments made in my two articles you linked to. His is a chart of REAL GDP, adjusted for changes to the purchasing power of the currency. I am on board with the idea that our real GDP growth over the next decade or whatever will be weak. Nominal GDP in comparison with Japan is a different story due to our vastly different monetary policy and the fact that our debt is not financed internally as it is in Japan.
