First-quarter GDP growth revised down to 1.3% rate

.

The economy expanded at a 1.3% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter of this year, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday in a downward revision.

Economists had expected a slight downward revision in the second update, with the consensus forecast expecting GDP growth to be pruned to 1.2%. First-quarter GDP has fallen three-tenths of a percentage point since the preliminary report.

The latest update, the second of three, shows that first-quarter GDP growth was lower than the preceding quarter’s 3.4% clip.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis updates its GDP estimates over the course of several weeks as analysts get a better picture of how the economy performed during the first quarter.

The first quarter’s GDP reading is also a decline from all of 2023, which saw the economy expand a healthy 2.5%.

The weaker growth in the first quarter was attributable in part to slower consumer spending. That could be a response to the Federal Reserve’s efforts to curb inflation by keeping interest rates higher for longer.

I am sick and tired of the Lyin' Biden econ team spouting data that makes news, and then almost always and routinely revising them later. Always to the worst.  Months later the news is lucky to make it to page 10.

That "GDP" includes printed money from nowhere.

The real GDP is negative.

We’re on a 20 year stretch of yearly GDP being  below 3%

Yet our debt has grown exponentially during that time

Anybody want to  argue that the Obama/Trump/Biden economic policies are working?

If the data was reported honestly, Americans would horrified that we really have been in a recesssion for most of Biden's term.

As a obsessvie fiscal hawk, heere is my POTUS grades of my lifetime,

Biden- F       The worst of my lifetime, man is taking us off a cliff

Trump- D-     Promised fiscal restraint.  Not only didn't deliver, but incurred more debt (even inflation adjusted) than any prior POTUS.  Did like regulatory restraint, which was a good start

Obama- F-  QE I, QEII, QEIII.  He was a pioneer in loving exponential excessive debt.

Bush II- D   All I want to add is just what was the return on investment of the WOT?  Sucked

Clinton- D+  Favorable only and mostly because Newt's congressional initiatives.   Deep down Slick Willie was still a tax and spend liberal.

Bush I- C-    Cratered to the left by ditching the main taxation tenants of Reagonomics. 

Reagan- B-   Actually the gold standard of our lifetime, but still was no Calvin Coolidge.

Carter- F      Laughng stock, in financial terms, who was way over his head.  As bad as  Jimmuh was, he still doesn't touch Biden

Ford-   D    WIN  (Whip Inflation Now)  The original RINO was convinced we could manage the malaise with slogans

Nixon-  D+   Wage Price Controls, Off fold standard, Then watch inflation rise up to 12%, and GDP losses approaching 5%?  Yeah, he inheritied some of the damage, but he didn't do much to improve the situation

I’ve been watching this Javier Milei of Argentina and, even though I’m heterosexual, I get aroused.

Chile was an economic and inflationary mess with government owning industries and stifling regulations and protectionist tariffs until Pinochet. The difference is Milei was elected.


If he succeeds, Argentina will become an economic success story

Reagan had a Cold War against the Evil Empire to win.

Bush '41, Clinton, Bush '43, Obama, Trump, and Biden have no such excuse.  Where did all that Peace Dividend money go?
