“Conservatives say he should be in prison”…for revealing the secret monsters among our 2-faced neighbors.
It’s definitely not a good look.

The BEA shutdown impact calculation is basically based on subtracting from government spending the pay furloughed workers would have received. Because those workers received back pay, the 1 pp decline in GDP attributed to the government shutdown will be made up in Q1, so expect a rebound.

Core PCE was firm as expected in December. The monthly rise was 0.36%, and October and November figures were revised up slightly.

The 3.0% increase was the largest since February (and on an unrounded basis, the 3.00% increase was the largest since April 2024).

The headline PCE index was also +0.36% in December (4.4% annualized rate), pushing 12-montn inflation to 2.9%, the highest reading for this series in more than a year.

It had been 2.3% in April.
