inflation in 2024 was 2.95%, no? where are you getting 2.4% from?
a lot of these numbers are wrong... lol.
* **Real GDP 2024:** 2.8% (Your number is spot on! This was the BEA's reported real GDP growth for 2024.)
* **Real GDP 2025:** 2.2% (Corrected from 2.4%. The BEA's full-year growth rate for 2025 was 2.2%, which was dragged down significantly by the government shutdown in the fourth quarter.)
* **Inflation 2024:** 2.9% (Corrected from 2.4%. The headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.9% from December 2023 to December 2024.)
* **Inflation 2025:** 2.7% (Corrected from 2.6%. The headline CPI for 2025 was 2.7%. However, if you were specifically looking at *Core* CPI—which strips out volatile food and energy prices—your 2.6% figure is exactly right for 2025.)
