Q3 GDP or How We Injured Our Elbows

                                                           

The release of third-quarter Gross Domestic Product was climactic. The economy grew at a measly two percent pace, after adjusting for seasonality according to the preliminary estimate by the Commerce Department.      October 28, 2021   Today's Top Stories From the Breitbart News Desk The release of third-quarter Gross Domestic Product was climactic. The economy grew at a measly two percent pace, after adjusting for seasonality according to the preliminary estimate by the Commerce Department. That was nearly a full point miss below the consensus estimate and very close to the bottom of the range of forecasts. Perhaps more importantly, it was a fraction of the forecasts for third-quarter growth that most Wall Street analysts were putting out at the start of the quarter. At the risk of straining our elbows, we're going to take a moment to pat ourselves on the back. Back on April 29, subscribers of this newsletter were alerted to the possibility that the consensus on growth and inflation might be wrong. We asked: What might happen when the Biden administration's policies hit the economy? We answered: One possibility is the further acceleration that the Biden people predict. Another possibility is next to nothing. Consumers could pull back on spending in anticipation of higher taxes to pay for all this spending. And, finally, the third possibility is liftoff for long-dormant inflation. Right now the market seems to believe acceleration is the most likely outcome, with inflation an outside risk. But this is an unprecedented situation and sentiment around which way things could go might swing violently as new data comes in. To put it differently, four months ago everyone thought growth would be weak in the first quarter. Is the consensus more reliable now that everyone thinks growth will strengthen and inflation will remain contained? We now know that what we got was both two and three, the possibilities that the financial establishment believed were highly unlikely. Consumers pulled back on spending and inflation took off, an almost unbelievable combination. A month later, on May 24, this newsletter pointed out that although the quarterly survey of the National Association of Business Economists showed economists were growing more optimistic about economic growth this year, the public was growing more pessimistic. And we explained why the public souring on the economy, even though it was mostly among Republicans, was worth paying attention to while the expert opinion was not: The decline in May was driven by Republicans taking a far more negative view of the economy in May. Gallup scored GOP confidence at negative 54 in May, down from negative 35 in April. Democrat economic confidence slipped only slightly from a positive 31 to a positive 27. While the partisan divide is stark, the May decline cannot really be chalked up to dislike of Biden or the Democrats on the part of Republicans. It's not like conservatives disliked Biden more in May than April. So this likely reflects something actually going on in the economy. Why did we get this year so right while the establishment media and Wall Street economists got it so wrong? In some sense, the answer is bias. They formulate their forecasts around their political priors. So they incorrectly predicted Trump's tariffs would raise prices and incorrectly predicted Biden's would not. But we have our biases also. The difference is simple: our biases—or, as we like to think of them, our philosophical convictions about economics—are better coordinated with reality than theirs. – Alex Marlow & John Carney Breitbart News Network     TOP STORY   Record Inflation and 95% of Manufacturers Report Supply Chain Disruptions in Kansas City Fed Survey Ninety-five percent of manufacturers in the Tenth District of the Federal Reserve report that they are experiencing supply chain disruptions and shortages, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

Many ladies are suffering tremendously and being persecuted by their families for their faith in Christ. This retreat gave them hope and allowed them to worship freely." These retreats allow us to invest in the lives of our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in life-changing ways. Retreats are held in secure locations, away from harsh living conditions and the eyes of the secret police, where attendees feel safe and cared for. Attendees are nourished — body and soul—as they participate in intense Bible study, refreshing worship, and learn to have a deeper focus on the love of Christ.   One woman who attended this retreat is also living in our nearby Safe House with her family. She was overwhelmed with thankfulness for Help The Persecuted and said her faith is growing and she looks forward to sharing Christ with others.   Another woman told our team through tears,   "The retreat taught me what it is like to be loved and valued by God and others. Thank you for this opportunity."   Time and time again we see that attendees come in broken, weary, fearful — mourning the suffering, trauma, and loss they've experienced.   But through God's grace and power, after just a few days, a distinct, palpable transformation occurs. Hope-filled smiles and laughter. Healing of past wounds. Restoration of soul and spirit. A renewed, or a new-found passion for life. Thank you for your partnership which provides Spiritual Retreats for women like this as you help cover the costs of: Accommodations and meals Conference room space for meetings Discipleship materials and staffing We are excited for future retreats being planned in Turkey and Jordan...with more to come!   Joshua Youssef President and CEO Help Host More Retreats   https://htp.org/ Help The Persecuted PO Box 20303 Atlanta, GA 30325-0303 USA *Unsubscribe You are receiving this email because you have opted in or supported Help The Persecuted.

And I have good news to share! Read the blog Don’t forget to listen to Thursday’s radio program: This week, we're looking at so-called "poor design" in the human body.
