The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP

[Crepitus]

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.

It makes sense. The government doesn’t produce anything.

It makes sense. The government doesn’t produce anything.

Except about 20% of the money that flows into the economy.

This comes as no surprise, Trump/Musk is dishonest and corrupt.

Both will continue to try to hide the damage.

They don’t produce that money. They steal it from you and I.

Great idea as government is a net drain on any economy be it federal, state, or local.

They all take, they don't produce.

I don't agree with this because we need to see the destruction these agencies are doing and their fraud and waste.

And into the pockets of Dem donors.

It's for covering up his economic failures.

I’m not sure why you think taking Government spending out of the GDP calculation will hide anything. We know what the government spends each year. Also nothing Trump has done will have any effect good or bad until at least q3 maybe q4

I'm not sure why you don't.

It spends and has a tremendous effect on domestic product.

How do you lefties plan to deal with your opposition?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The electoral process. We showed you what we do when you righties try violence.

How did that work for you last Nov? Righties don't usually resort to violence . You start it we'll finish it.

It’s artificial and not an indicator of how our economy is actually doing.

For 1 it doesn’t. So there’s that.

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.

"Artificial" is debatable and meaningless.
