Rearview Mirror on US GDP

Not much change to the GDP figures in today's final revision. Growth in Q3 was strong, but corporate profits were weak. (National Defense at nearly a trillion dollars, at annualized rates ...)

To note: Housing, falling at 20% per annum on these figures, knocks about 1% off GDP growth. Growth in Government spending continues to offset that as does a remarkable rise in net exports.

Tomorrow's personal income figures will be more interesting.
