Nominal GDP for 1Q2024 was revised down $28.6 billion in the second estimate today: What's the big picture?
Nominal GDP came in at a revised $28.255 trillion.
Sounds like a lot, right?
Here's the big picture.
From 1947 to 2000, nominal GDP grew at a compound annual rate of 7.26%.
From 2000 to 2024, nominal GDP grew at a compound annual rate of 4.42%, 39% lower.
The year 2000 marks the US opening to China, and the great wealth transfer out of the US from the middle class under globalism, creating new middle classes there and elsewhere.
We are poorer for it, but we have lots more billionaires now and you can read all about it on your Apple iPhone made by slave labor while you eat your 40% more expensive hamburger from McDonalds since 2019.
It's amusing to read Fox News quoting NeverTrumpers @redsteeze and @bonchieredstate attacking Jill Biden
'History of anger problems': Jill Biden mocked for hyping president as 'calm' and 'steady'
The comment drew immediate criticism on social media from conservatives skeptical of the portrayal of Biden as "calm" and "steady."
"This doesn't work this time. Does anything feel calm?" conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller posted on X.
"Narrator: He's incredibly weak, has a history of anger problems, and has so little integrity that he can't give a simple speech without telling multiple, already-debunked lies," Red State writer Bonchie posted on X.
They're selling their brands that's all. These two are mere children who pretend that adults should never have to choose the bad Trump over the worse Biden.
Their ilk pretended over the weekend, for example, that Donald Trump made Memorial Day all about himself and his troubles, which, if you hadn't noticed, are unprecedented no matter how much he has brought them on himself.
The decline of religion in America has made America uglier and more vulgar on both sides, both incapable of showing mercy and of practicing self-examination. To do so is a gotcha, the specialty that provides the clicks and the revenue.
It's still all about the Benjamins.
That half the country still supports Trump is symbolic of its former better self and says less about Trump than it does about what is still right with us.
That should calm things down: Dr. Jill Biden says half the country is evil
Those polls are going to turn, I'm confident of it because as time goes on and as people start to focus a little more on what's at stake and start to become educated on the issues and the differences between the two men, I believe that Americans are going to choose good over evil.

Joe Biden's stupid Gaza pier lasted 12 days until the sea took it apart
Expert opinion says the military tried to warn him it wouldn't work in that environment, but Biden persisted.
Most of the aid which was delivered got stolen anyway.
Complete boondoggle, with one critically injured in an accident, but no fatalities as in Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
A purely political prosecution of Trump: Hillary underperformed Obama 2008 in 39 states in 2016 because she was a terrible candidate but what REALLY won it for Trump was paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money
Prosecutors claim that Trump, by falsely recording the reimbursements to Cohen as legal expenses, had criminally covered up their true nature, which was to protect his then-reeling campaign from losing the 2016 election to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

The mother of Emily Baden, Barbara Baden, was a long time executive with PBS, thought her daughter's vulgar signs in front of her house were OK
Explains a lot.
Her mother Barbara Baden, a former PBS executive, said her daughter's "Fuck Trump" sign, placed "near where children wait for the school bus", was "made with good intent".
The daughter and her boyfriend stayed in the house with her mother during COVID.
They are proud liberals and BLM-ers and readily admit they called Mrs. Alito a cunt.

New evidence reveals Hunter Biden WeChat messages from his iCloud account to Chinese oil giant CEFC involve his father, contradicting his sworn testimony
Story here.
'Hunter Biden lied about the recipient of a WhatsApp message sent with the apparent intention to threaten a business associate and demand payment,' committee chairman Jason Smith claimed Wednesday.
'In the message, Hunter Biden twice mentioned he was with his father. In the deposition, Hunter Biden sought to dismiss the message, claiming that he was either 'high or drunk' when he sent it, and in that state, had sent it to the wrong Zhao, and not actually the one affiliated with the Chinese energy company, CEFC.
'Hunter claimed under oath that the recipient, 'had no understanding or even remotely knew what,...I was even...talking about,' Smith added.
'However, phone records in front of the Committee today show Hunter Biden sent the message to the correct Chinese businessman by the name of Raymond Zhao who not only was affiliated with CEFC, but knew exactly what Hunter Biden was talking about.'
