The latest GDP report shows a flashy 3% growth, sparking celebration from politicians and pundits alike. But dig beneath the headline, and the picture is far murkier. Business investment is down nearly 3%, exports have slipped, and much of the GDP boost comes from a statistical quirk: a steep 5% drop in imports, which ironically counts as a positive. This breakdown exposes the hidden levers behind the numbers—phantom job postings, cautious corporate spending, and the price distortion ripple effect of tariffs. Before buying into the growth narrative, it's time to look under the hood.
