We are looking right now at the GDP number at 4.3% is the actual number versus an estimate of 3.3%.

Mark Keper, your reaction.

So last week we talked about inflation coming in lower than expected.

Now economic growth is one full percentage point faster than expected.

It was supposed to come in at 3.3, came in at 4.3.

This is a direct result of everything President

spend as well. So, great number. Great number, 4.3%. And I've got to say, when I see a GDP of

4.3%, I have to believe 5% is not far away.

And that, of course, is what Louis Navalier told us last week, Mark, that we're going to see a 5% GDP handle in the first half of the year.

He looks like Nostradamus right now. I mean, he almost predicted that on the head. Obviously,

5% is well within our reach, especially given the consumer tailwinds I just mentioned.

Right. Well, it's really a fantastic number, and it's a great Christmas present for the

American people. And, you know, I would say that the headline for me is two things.

And so we got about, you know, one and a half percent of the growth on 4.3 because we

reduce the trade deficit.

And then the other thing that I think, which is a big macro thing that we're seeing, is that
