3rd Q GDP increase was mostly healthcare insurance !!! (EDIT)

4.3% 3Q GDP

More economic cookery seeing consumer spend on HCI is going to increase even more going forward, the working person is getting slammed.

Wrong: CPI was also 3.8% cause of course it is


/photo/1

3.8% CPI 45 seconds into video, am I hearing different?! That's 50% increase in CPI from 2Q lows !!!

EDIT: Santelli wasn't report CPI at 45 seconds he was reporting the **GDP Deflator** number which measures prices in EVERY part of the economy and is some context is more accurate than CPI seeing CPI just measures consumer spending.

Either one going up nearly 50% QoQ is bad !!!

... "liberation" day in this report.

None of the underlying data is good in this report and now Trump admin is delaying some 4q numbers ... the hurt is coming
