Third quarter GDP is expected to grow at a sharp pace, but the economy is still behind where it was and may be challenged by a lack of stimulus.

Third quarter growth is expected to have bounced back at a 32% pace, after the second quarter's deep slump.Economists say the lack of stimulus from Congress means growth could be challenged heading into the end of the year.

"We will have recovered about 2/3 of the GDP we lost in the recession," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. Zandi expects growth of an above consensus 35% for the third quarter. Swonk said a big factor in the third quarter was strong consumption, and consumer spending was directly helped by the enhanced unemployment given to workers until it ran out at the end of July.

At the same time, the failure of Congress and the White House to reach an agreement on stimulus makes it more likely there will be no stimulus aid until next year, depending on the election outcome.

Since fake news not reporting, I will: Trump and Biden both speaking in Florida, 2:48pm, Thursday. Biden yelling in Coconut Creek. His audience is about 14 folks and sitting on their cars. President Trump in Tampa Bay. His audience, the usual 25,000 excited people. Do the math.

Problem: 'Swonk said a big factor in the third quarter was strong consumption, and consumer spending was directly helped by the enhanced unemployment given to workers until it ran out at the end of July.' Consumption is not what drives an economy. This is not recovery.

Stop it there is no third quarter growth in the real America down on the street this is all about corporate profits. If millions of people are doing bad but the rich aren't that doesn't mean the economy's improving. It just means the Rich are getting richer.

How to think about third quarter GDPThird quarter economic growth figures don’t come out until tomorrow. But it’s all the economic/political wonk-o-sphere is talking about right now.
