Growth rate raised to the number of years (N) = relative increase in
size.
1.114^N = 5
N ln 1.114 = ln 5
N = ln 5 / ln 1.114 = 1.61/0.11 = 14 years
That ain't decades.

China's high growth rate is proof positive that the Chinese have free
speech on economic issues. Any other conclusion is absurd.
And the GOP tax cut stagflation, predicted by the greatest minds to
last for decades is a result of censorship of economic information
