THE DEEPER DIVE: Signs of the Stealth Recession Keep Broadening and Deepening
The decline is slow, but it keeps relentlessly going down.
It’s time for an overview of the US economy before the government’s likely fraudulent GDP report comes out, which the Trump administration says (unsurprisingly) has been postponed until some indefinite time beyond January:
GDP (Advance Estimate), 4th Quarter and Year 2025 will be rescheduled. These data were originally scheduled for release on Jan. 29, 2026. Sufficient source data will not be available in time for the original release date.
Surprise, surprise. For them, if they are going to honest, the longer they can forestall release of the data the better. Even if they are going to be dishonest, it will probably take extra time to figure out how to dress the numbers up.
Therefore, we are going to look at other economic data to get a sense of what’s happening in gross domestic production.
