@NumbersMean @medinajm99 @0liviajulianna GDP isn’t a percentage — but Table 1.1.1 isn’t showing GDP. It shows the percent change in real GDP. Those percent‑change numbers for Q1 (–1.6%) and Q2 (–0.6%) 2022 are still negative in the final BEA revision.

@NumbersMean @medinajm99 @0liviajulianna What Table 1.1.1 actually shows (confirmed by BEA) From the BEA’s own release: - Q1 2022 real GDP decreased 1.6% - Q2 2022 real GDP decreased 0.6% These are the final revised numbers. Nothing flipped positive.

@NumbersMean @medinajm99 @0liviajulianna So when Table 1.1.1 shows: Q1 2022: –1.6% Q2 2022: –0.6% …it is not showing GDP. It is showing GDP growth, which can be neg GDP (level) → dollars GDP growth (Table 1.1.1) → percent change Your treating “GDP growth rate” and “GDP level” as the same thing they aren’t

@NumbersMean @medinajm99 @0liviajulianna Yes — even in the correct BEA table (1.1.1), Q1 2022 and Q2 2022 are negative. Your confusion comes from your misunderstanding: GDP itself is not a percentage, but the table shows the percent change in GDP and those percent‑change values for Q1 and Q2 2022 are still negative.

@NumbersMean @medinajm99 @0liviajulianna I did look at the link the BEA has multiple tables. You’re reading one of the level or contribution tables. The actual growth rate table is 1.1.1, and it still shows Q1 2022 at –1.6% and Q2 2022 at –0.6% even after revisions.”

@NumbersMean @medinajm99 @0liviajulianna Trump had a recession caused by a global pandemic that shut down the entire world. Biden’s downturn came from policy choices, not COVID, and when the numbers pointed to a recession, suddenly the definition was ‘up for debate.’ Changing the terms doesn’t change what people felt.
