"U.S. economy grows by 4.3% in third quarter, much more than expected, delayed report shows



The U.S. economy grew at a much greater-than-expected pace in the third quarter, boosted by strong consumer spending, a delayed report released Tuesday showed.

U.S. gross domestic product, a sum of all goods and services produced in the sprawling U.S. economy, expanded by 4.3% in the July-September period, the Commerce Department said in its initial reading of third-quarter growth. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect a gain of 3.2%.

Consumer spending expanded by 3.5% in the third quarter after rising 2.5% in the second quarter.

Increases in exports and government spending also boosted growth, while a smaller dip in private fixed investment helped as well."

2026 will be a much better year as America emerges from the nightmare of Bidenomics.

Fake numbers.

Not much surprise to me. I carry goods for a living and I can't keep up with the loads my company has been sending me. Under Biden I sat sometimes for 2-3 days without a load.

Fake numbers.

Oh yes, CNBC is the right wing arm of the republican party.

This is the stuff that makes Democrats piss their panties.

Nope. Thanks Trump.So much for the Democrats the sky is falling tariffs.

Yeah, tells me that the government is straight-up lying about the economy.

Most layoffs since 2020. Maybe since 2009. We are in a recession.

Then we are coming out of the Biden recession.

Layoffs will accelerate in certain industries as AI matures. No president can stop this.

 

[Crepitus]

Oh yes, CNBC is the right wing arm of the republican party.

They didn't make the numbers.

 

[Anarchy666]

Democrats are just addicted to losing.

Let's keep it that way.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Fake numbers.

Yes, inflated by the dropoff in imports which are subtracted from GDP.

 

[FireFly]

Fake numbers.

The drop in imports that used to get subtracted from GDP causes the number to go positive even when the US economy is not growing.

 

[JoeB131]

Then we are coming out of the Biden recession.

Nope. Economy was fine before Trump started ******* with it.

Now he has to publish utter bullshit economic information they will quietly revise later in the year.

 

[TimFitz]

They didn't make the numbers.

No, the Trump regime made (up) the numbers.

Inflation is ideally 2.0% and we are at 2.7%, unemployment under 5% and is considered full employment and we are at 4.6%, a good economic growth rate by economists standards is 1.8%-2.5% and we stand at 4.3%, the stock market is up 18% for the year, 10% is considered good.

Just like the Industrial and Information Age, Americans will adapt to the AI Age.

I am surprised consumer spending was so strong with sentiment so low and inflation ticking up. Im not hearing it was a banner Christmas spending season but we will see when the official numbers come out. Hard to tell from a few data points.

We are around 3.4% inflation if you really look at the GDP report. The inflation report was missing more data than it reported. We've never had this amount of incompetence reporting numbers before.

Bankruptcies are at record levels which means less competition and will put more pressure on inflation along with Tariffs continuing to do their thing.
