U.S. Economy Surges Past Expectations as Spending, Investment Soar

[The Sage of Main Street]

If you have an economic theory of your own, why don't you state it?

A Seed Doesn't Grow in a Sandbox

Economists are static; economic growth is dynamic. It is based on how well a country motivates its few human resources capable of developing its natural resources.

Then you should vote for me because that's what Trump does and you love that shit.

"Bobo says so" = when you say "Fake News"

Everyone is afraid of Trump. Almost like every Russian is afraid of Putin. Trump goes after corporations, politicians, anyone who goes against him. Look at the woman who reported the real jobs numbers and how bad they were. So don't expect real facts to come from the now "corporate" media who has to kiss his ass and NOT report any negative news about him.

Bill Maher is right this is a slow moving coup.

The U.S. economy expanded by 3.3% in the second quarter (April-June 2025) primarily due to a rebound from a first-quarter contraction, stronger-than-initially-thought consumer spending, and a significant reduction in imports, which had surged in the prior quarter ahead of tariffs.

The U.S. economy rebounded this spring from a first-quarter downturn due to fallout from President Donald Trump’s trade wars.

In an upgrade from its first estimate in July, the Commerce Department said

You think I'm going to believe the Commerce Department? Who runs that? They don't want to get fired.

This I like, if true: Driven by a decline in imports, U.S. gross domestic product rose at a 3.3% annualized rate in the second quarter of 2025. This would show more people are buying American.

And this is what saved Trump's first quarter: The first-quarter GDP drop, the first retreat of the U.S. economy in three years, was mainly caused by a surge in imports — which are subtracted from GDP — as businesses scrambled to bring in foreign goods ahead of Trump’s tariffs.

People spent a lot in the 1st quarter before tariffs kicked in.

I'm not voting for you for any elected position.

Surely, horrible news for the left as their hopes for a hobbled, weak America are being crushed.

The left wanted nothing more than failure as their pathological hatred of Trump and the US required their need to denigrate everything that would benefit this country.
