As the year 2025 winds down, with fireworks and celebrations around the corner, it’s time to take a moment to appreciate the economic miracle unfolding in the United States. Thanks to President Trump’s decisive strategies, the GDP is tearing through the roof with a growth rate of 4.3%, wages are on the rise by 3.5%, and inflation has calmed to 2.7%. Considering the whispered worries of doom and gloom predicted by some economists not too long ago, it’s almost like they’ve been taking economic advice from a fortune-teller rather than an economic adviser.
Picture this: your paychecks will soon get a little heavier starting January 1st as less money gets snatched up for taxes. This friendly move from the administration means Americans can enjoy more take-home pay alongside the comforting numbers that the economy’s showing right now. As the saying goes, the color of money is green, and that’s probably why some are gearing up with green ties – symbolic of the good fortune people’s wallets are about to experience.
This bullish outlook for 2026 isn’t just about breaking records; it’s also about putting fear in its place. Remember those dire predictions of a looming recession or downturn? Turns out, they were about as accurate as using a sundial to tell the time on a cloudy day. If detractors were handing out “I told you so” patches, folks like Steve Moore would be handing them right back with interest.
In terms of gasoline prices, what used to require digging under seat cushions for spare change now needs just a swipe of the card. The average price at the pump sits comfortably at $2.83, which is a far cry from the financial black holes they once were. For those with sharp memories, it’s painfully evident how far we’ve come from previous sky-high fuel costs. As the stock market indexes reach record highs, many Americans are feeling the promised sigh of relief as their savings and 401(k)s are plumped up – with the typical retirement plan seeing a $24,000 increase this year after adjusting for inflation. Thank goodness for prosperity!
While trade tariffs might not be the most popular kid in the economic playground, there’s undeniable satisfaction when it comes to the Master Trade Deals that have funneled funds back into the country’s coffers. These deals fuel jobs, boost business, and yes, help set the stage for what’s anticipated to be another stellar year. A hearty nod is in order for bold moves that put America’s interests first – after all, who knew winning at economics could look this good? So here’s to a 2026 that promises to be ever more roaring and rewarding!
