The source of the data is the U.S. Department of Commerce: Bureau of Economic Analysis for anyone interested in it. The national data as shown above is from here http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/Nipa-Frb.asp?Freq=Qtr, I haven't quite yet figured out how to extract more detailed data, aka regional/income based which is the more interesting question(s). Oh well, enough of a side-track for now.

CNN (etc) showed a very short term result from the past decade or so and it made me curious what that meant in a longer context. So you can figure it out yourself, here's the result in an ugly excel chart.
