Three days later, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the nation’s Gross Domestic Product had declined at an annual rate of 1.4 percent in the first quarter of this year.

“America has seen the fastest economic growth in almost 40 years, with GDP growing last year by 5.7%,” said Pelosi in her tweet.

“@HouseDemocrats  are working to continue this growth, lower costs for families and meet Americans’ kitchen table needs,” Pelosi said.

On Thursday, the BEA put out its advance estimate of the economy’s performance in the first quarter of 2022.

“Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022, according to BEA.

“The decrease in real GDP,” said BEA, “reflected decrease in private inventory investment, exports, federal government spending, and state and local government spending, while imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.”
