Unexpected? Not so much.
GDP Goes Negative: Economy Shrinks -1.4% as 2022 Begins (breitbart.com)
US left $7 billion worth of military equipment behind due to its "botched" withdrawal from Afghanistan, CNN reports, citing a Pentagon report. Yes sir! good ole Sleepy Joe.
I knew one of our resident know-nothings would jump on the headline number without looking at the components.
Two of the three factors driving the number down you would normally be an advocate for. The third factor is better than the alternative.
Two big “drags” on the headline come from reduced government spending and net exports (the ships at the port are now being unloaded). The third is reduction in inventories, and increasing inventories are what cause job-losing recessions.
Well then! according to Goosey let's hope the GDP continues to tank. If a 1.4% decrease is good, a 14% decrease has to be 10X better!
The numbers were good enough. Consumer spending, the bedrock of US economy was up 2.7%, inflation adjusted. So what if the government spending is down and those imports aren’t sitting in the harbor any longer. Those are positives, too, right?
