In this episode of The Daily Windup, we dig into one of the biggest myths floating around right now — that the U.S. economy has somehow become recession-proof. Despite headlines saying everything’s fine, the hard data tells a different story: real GDP has dropped in two of the last three months, growth has fallen from 3.2% to just 1.3%, and both soft and hard data are flashing warning signs. Yet, the market’s still acting like the party never ends. We break down what the Fed’s Beige Book reveals, why the numbers don’t lie, and what every business owner and government contractor should be preparing for right now.
Key Takeaways:
-
GDP growth has fallen from 3.2% to 1.3%, showing the economy is slowing — not stabilizing.
-
Soft data is finally morphing into hard data weakness, signaling a potential recession ahead.
-
The Fed’s Beige Book is a must-read for anyone tracking real economic health across sectors.
