Ignore the US GDP numbers

Matt Phillips from Quartz is encouraging us all to completely ignore the US GDP numbers that came out overnight. He says “US GDP growth fell to a 0.2% annualized rate, which looks pretty bad. We told you it would be bad. How did we know? Windows. If you looked out any of them between January and March you were treated to a slush-bound hellscape of icy misery. Thankfully, spring has sprung. And there are all sorts of indications that US growth is bouncing back.” (VIEW LINK)
