2. Maybe Commerce Sec. Howard Lunatik is right, that GDP should exclude govt spending

From the OP:

federal workers at those five agencies said taxpayers are getting far less return from the government because work has been significantly curbed.

The Krasnov admin is certainly setting things up so that government contributes nothing to anything that is useful or helpful.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lunatik is one of the ones suggesting that the GDP not include government spending.

By the way, PCE inflation (the Fed's favorite measure, sometimes called "Pissy Inflation&quot , due Friday June 27, is put out by the BEA Bureau of Economic Analysis, which is a part of the Commerce Department.
