First off, the 3.1 is wrong as we're comparing Q3 2024 (2.8) and current GDP 4.3JohnnyYou » 30 Dec 2025, 1:52 pm » wrote: ↑ Ahh ok.. that is possible. Based on below.. it is only 58%
=4.3/(4.3+3.1)= .58 = 58%
=4.3/3.1 = 1.28 or only 38%
Before focusing on numbers, we should really try to understand how the numbers are calculated,
A lot of **** goes into the GDP calc.
Consumer Spending is one of them. If prices go up, so should consumer spending. Consumer spending was one of the key contributors to the 3Q 2025 Increase. Do you actually believe people were buying more product? I know we weren't. We were just paying more for what we always bought. And tens of millions of Americans borrowed money to get what they wanted.. The curve balls in the shooting match are extremely challenging to understand. I won't pretend I do, I see glimpses. I have never paid this close attention before.
Military Spending contributed. The Manhattan Project could possibly have triggerred the largest GDP increase in history is what I thought I saw the other day that I shared ICE ICE Baby gets factored into GDP. Getting rid of the Gross Domestic Product of Immigrants actually increases our Gross Domestic Product number. But terrifying the labor force that actually brough value to our economy and didn't diddle with crypto and game controllers all day will take a toll at some point.
The economy is like climate change at 8x speed. Just because it's hot one day does not mean an ice age is coming. Measurements have to be considered overtime, many factors have to be considered. I don't think Trump even understands them.. It's clear Scott Bessent doesn't. Trump makes up numbers for sure.. Did it with the sqaure feet on financial forms. There is documented evidence borught forth by Letitia James. Miss 18K over 30 year loan corruption empress.
In the third quarter (3Q) of 2024 and 2025, the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) were as follows:
3Q 2024 GDP3Q 2025 GDP
- Real GDP Growth: Increased at an annual rate of 3.1%.
- Current-Dollar GDP: Reached $29.37 trillion.
- Key Drivers: Growth was primarily driven by strong consumer spending, exports, federal government spending, and nonresidential fixed investment.
The initial 3Q 2025 report was delayed and released on December 23, 2025, due to a historically long government shutdown earlier in the year. You can track further updates on the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) website or the no spam .
- Real GDP Growth: Increased at an annual rate of 4.3%, according to the initial estimate.
- Current-Dollar GDP: Reached approximately $31.1 trillion.
- Key Drivers: This "blistering" growth was the strongest in two years, fueled by a surge in consumer spending (up 3.5%), improved trade dynamics, and significant business investment in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

How easily you forget how I have owned you in math so many times.
You don't even know what an integer is. In fact, you would copy/paste the definition from the internet.

Yes, U.S. corporate profits showed strong increases in 2025, particularly in the latter half, with Q3 seeing significant year-over-year growth (around 10.5%) and analysts forecasting continued strength into 2026, driven by AI investment, cost-cutting, and new tax policies, despite some market concerns about rising consumer savings or AI spending impacts.
S&P 500 companies saw over 13% projected earnings growth for 2025, with Q3 exceeding expectations, marking a solid trend of recovery and resilience.
Key Trends & Data (2025)Q3 2025: Profits surged 4.4% quarter-over-quarter and jumped 10.5% from the prior year, with strong increases in cash flow and undistributed profits.
S&P 500 Earnings: Projected growth of around 13% for 2025, with Q3 showing 14% earnings per share growth, beating early estimates.
Drivers: Companies benefited from trimming overhead, leveraging AI, and increased consumer spending.
Policy Impact: New tax legislation (OBBBA) allowed for immediate expensing of costs, boosting profits.
