Government spending is at play and that was cut back. With that growth was better last year, consumer spending better, business investment was good last year, uneven this year (great to start with tariff oddness but then flattened after that). At best again we have a push. Last year was decent, this year is decent.

Well ok. Most people use it as a broad and general measurement to avoid seeming to focused on more narrow measurements but whatever. It was decent last year, this year mixed. We are half way so incomplete. At best a push, last year probably better. Consumer spending then? Business investment?

Jobs the same to slightly worse this year versus last year Lets look at economic growth. GDP is a good measure of that. How was that last year versus this year?

So for how people determine how the economy is doing, we agree jobs data is important. Overall in that area the numbers are the same, slightly worse TBH but close enough to call it relatively a wash, as to what they were last year.

Yes. The jobs reports are revised afterwards. That’s the process. You can look at overall unemployment from last year compared to this year as an idea to how that number is trending. It is relatively the same.

Good grief You used numbers..from the government…that were decent in the most recent quarter. Those were inline with last year. Based on those numbers things for you are “awesome” now and were terrible last year.

Those numbers are good from the government, some are bad, I see. Convenient! Comparing this data that highlights how things are “awesome” versus other periods is a normal measure. It’s how you determine if things are improving or worsening. Unemployment going up is worse! Consumer demand going down is bad. Have you compared all these numbers to last years?

I thought it was pretty clear. Higher unemployment is bad for the record Where do you get these numbers that you highlighted to say the economy is “awesome”?

That was sarcasm Where did you get all the data that you used to determine things are “awesome” - the numbers which were by in large worse than last year?

If they get revised down it will be even better news for the economy!

”it’s focking awesome”

Trump has the best math.

Look at this whiny little lady

Economy is lagging a bit behind last year despite all the spazzing out by Orange Julius to the contrary,

Yep, Really.

Dems will win the House in 2026, Senate will stay Red. 2028 Prez is a coin flip.

As poorly and haphazardly as these trade deals have been attempted, I’m sure there are some edge benefits that will come of them.
