I wish their graph extended back further ...

Well, BumDaRushShow (below

) found one from 2013 through 2017, so I'll post it here so one can see the two graphs together:
CAUTION: the vertical scales of the two graphs are way different
And beyond that, they sure look different numerically as well, e.g. between the 2 graphs, compare 2016 and the first 2 quarters of 2017

There's this from FRED that goes back all the way to 1950 (but one can set the from and to dates in the boxes above the graph, or move the slider below the graph)

Sorry I don't know how to embed without making a snapshot and posting it on Imgur or somesuch

EDITED TO ADD: I went ahead and did one: from Q4 2009 to Q3 2019 1st estimate (so as to show the Obama years and Trump years together :smile: , leaving off the Bush Great Recession dive into 2009)

The White House Council of Economic Advisers will no doubt 'splain it all to us, but as of 9:40 AM ET, nothing yet.
