There is a lot of talk out there about Bessent’s recent comments about growing GDP faster than the debt. A lot of people are saying that means “the printer is coming” and inflation is going to rise. I do not disagree with that. But it is worth thinking about other “creative” ways that the admin can make GDP grow faster.
All we have to do is look to Lutnick. He gave us a hint when he was in the “All in Podcast” a few months ago and in Fox News where he talks about changing the calc for GDP removing “non-productive spending.” Which in theory would lower GDP BUT he talks about changing “expenses” or something.
Just saying that like admins in the past they will likely get creative before they do “the hard thing.”
