The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP

The Capitol. Charlottesville. Half a dozen other places.

We will beat you in 2026 and 2028.

You won by only 200,000 votes in three states. We won't lose those states again.

You got your ass kicked. Make sure that what ever you do it's peaceful, any other tack will not work for you.

What a senseless suggestion. MSN

"Several economists and economic researchers told Barron’s on Monday that they didn’t understand the reasoning behind excluding government spending from calculations of GDP, with at least one warning that such a change could upend confidence in the U.S. financial markets.

Lutnick’s comments were particularly puzzling because there are already measures that make the distinction between private spending and public spending, such as the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ final sales to private domestic purchasers. The BEA’s measure includes the total value of goods and services sold to private consumers, and is essentially a calculation of real GDP excluding inventory changes, net exports, and government spending."

That's what we told you, busted your heads, enforced, and you have cowered ever since.

Gaslight all you want, but you just are a bunch of incels and cucks. Nothing to worry about.

"Artificial" is debatable and meaningless.

Government spending isn’t tethered to the health of the economy. At best it just inflates the GDP number. What's more likely is that it hides what's actually happening in the economy, especially since our budget isnt tethered to our tax revenue either.

I'm not sure why you don't.

If you think adding Government spending to the GDP number tells you something you can just add it to the GDP number the Government publishes without it.

Such a weak argument.

In an effort to hide the damage they are doing to the nation the trump administration is planning to exclude government spending from GDP. They claim it will provide a clearer view but in reality it will help hide the destruction they are currently wreaking on our economy.

And guess who's idea it is?

Musk's of course.

How will it hide your claimed damage?

What it will show is the actual gdp from the private sector and what America is actually producing
