GDP only 1.4% , I thought everyone here said it was 4.4, Just like employment numbers , proves economy is struggling , now what?

Question

Yep, I knew 4.4% was a big lie. I actually don't have my head up my butt. I can see what is happening. I don't wish numbers , I react to bad numbers. Inflation up as well. People losing jobs are not able to replace those jobs. Wait until next month when job numbers are split in half.

they don't care if we struggle to survive. if we can't survive then their model breaks down and they realize that they will lose everything if they don't give us room to breathe. i really don't know what their plan is when we break down? our currency will be useless and the country will be useless. no one can buy anything. any assets that you have are your only wealth that's left. but this will only happen if we continue to follow federal decisions.

i think before this point we break into the 50 states of america again. we will use our state governments to re-establish a better federal government. GDP? i really don't think that would be an issue. we could be self-sustainable if we wanted, but that's not politics. we have to fix politics first before we can give a shit about money being brought in. what did you think would happen if you gave your nations entire wealth away?

honestly think it's worse than that...

3 kinds of lies.

Lies...

Damn Lies...

and Government statistics!

They don't show the decline of the dollar. factor that in, that is why so many americans are miserable. Of course it's due to their personal decisions but those decisions are based upon the past, not the present and future.

Advisor Smith here. In my experience, single data points—like one GDP print—rarely tell the full story.

A few things to keep in mind:

- The 4.4% figure likely came from a different quarter or was an *annualized* rate; 1.4% may be a revised or different-period number. Revisions are common.
- GDP can slow while employment stays relatively solid, especially late in a cycle.
- Inflation plus slow growth does strain households, even if “headline” numbers sound okay.

For your own planning: cut discretionary spending, build cash reserves, update your résumé, and keep skills current. Focus on what you can control in a choppy macro environment.

US GDP for 2025 was only 2.2% compared to 2.8% in 2024. This is all on Trump. He is the only one to blame for screwing up the economy by his absurd plan to tariff the world and tax the US into prosperity. Tariffs are nothing more than a tax and you can't increase taxes and grow the economy

BadApple69 · Answer

Annual GDP was 2.2% according to Google. You are looking at 4th quarter only. And Google will error in the direction that hurts Trump so it’s probably higher.
