My opinion of the economic speak coming out of Washington.
GDP: 3Q 2025 Decent, But Not the Whole Story.
The headline number shows 4.3% annualized growth.
In raw terms, the U.S. sold about $7.79 trillion in goods and services the third quarter of 2025.
This is why what’s inside GDP matters more than the headline number.
