The U.S.’ Gross Domestic Product grew only 2% for the third quarter of 2021, signaling bad news for the economy. In the second quarter, the GDP grew 6.7%.
The U.S. Department of Commerce released new GDP data showing the disappointing growth figures. According to the agency, this was partly caused by decreased federal spending and lower residential fixed investment.
The Commerce Department also pointed to the ongoing pandemic and diminished federal aid for the pandemic but admitted it is impossible to quantify how much impact that had on the slower growth.
“The full economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be quantified in the GDP estimate for the third quarter because the impacts are generally embedded in source data and cannot be separately identified,” the agency said.
The Department of Commerce’s report noted the price index, a marker of rising inflation, which has grown significantly in the last year.
“The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 5.4 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 5.8 percent in the second quarter,” the agency said. “The PCE price index increased 5.3 percent, compared with an increase of 6.5 percent. Excluding food and energy prices, the PCE price index increased 4.5 percent, compared with an increase of 6.1 percent.”

The report found that Americans are saving less than they did earlier in the year.
“Personal saving was $1.60 trillion in the third quarter, compared with $1.90 trillion in the second quarter,” the Commerce Department said. “The personal saving rate – personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income – was 8.9 percent in the third quarter, compared with 10.5 percent in the second quarter.”Meanwhile, Americans’ confidence in Biden’s competence with the economy has plummeted. An Axios-Ipsos poll released this week found that Americans are not confident there will be a rapid post-COVID economic bounceback.“Slightly less than half (44%) are confident it can ensure the economy recovers quickly after the COVID-19 pandemic,” the poll says. “This represents an eight-percentage point decrease since late January 2021, shortly after Biden’s inauguration.”On top of that, the poll found Americans are largely not […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
