I was at a meeting in front of my office. The speaker was talking about the 3% of the U.S. GDP that is spent on government spending. For those of you who don’t know who he is, he is a financial guru who has made a career out of explaining how the 3% works.
So in this case, 3% of 2000 is the same as 3% of 2001 and 3% of 2002.
This is the point at which a speaker starts doing a little bit of math, so this number has to be understood. You can divide a column of numbers by another column by the number before and get the next number in the column.
3 percent is the point at which the U.S. GDP is the same as it was in 2000. So if we subtract 3 percent of 2000, we get a number that is the same as the 2001 GDP. So let’s put that number in the back of our head and see how it makes us feel.
This is a surprisingly simple concept. We are the same as the 2001 GDP, so we feel the same as the 2001 GDP. This is all we have to do.
This is a surprisingly simple concept. We are the same as the 2001 GDP, so we feel the same as the 2001 GDP. This is all we have to do.
The problem is that the GDP isn’t an exact number. It’s a measure of the economic activity of the country. Because the United States is one of the most unequal countries in the world, it is easier for us to feel the same way as the 2001 GDP because we’re not counting the same things. A 3 percent GDP number is a pretty good indicator of whether the U.S. economy is going to be in the black.
The 3% GDP number is an indicator of whether there is a major issue that threatens the GDP. When there are no issues, the GDP is stable. When there are issues, the GDP changes. And with that, I think we’re going to talk about the GDP in a minute. But first, we have to talk about the 3% GDP.
3% GDP is the amount of GDP that is reported by the IRS. It is the number of dollars that the government has taken in in taxes in a given year. So the 3 GDP number is a measure of how much more or less people are paying in taxes. In the case of the U.S., a 3% GDP number is a pretty good indication that government is not going to give you a tax cut if you don’t do what they say.
So, what about the 3% number? Well, that’s actually a trick question if you want to get the most out of this statistic. The 3% number is based on a survey about the average income of a typical American household. While the 3% number is obviously a very rough measurement, it gives you a good idea of how much you’re potentially paying in taxes.
