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.

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 […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
