The U.S. economy is buzzing like a hive of busy bees, and the news is all good. Thanks to the economic strategies employed during President Trump’s administration, America is seeing some impressive numbers as 2025 draws to a close. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is humming along with a growth rate of 4.3%, and wages have increased by 3.5%. It’s the kind of economic expansion that people will remember, made even sweeter by a significant drop in inflation, which has hit its lowest point since March 2021 at just 2.7%.
As many are gearing up for the upcoming tax refund season, the future is looking brighter for Americans. Steve Moore, a well-known co-founder of Unleashed Prosperity and Trump economic adviser, shared his optimistic outlook on the economy for the year ahead. With the New Year approaching, Moore highlighted that Americans can look forward to seeing less money withheld from their paychecks, resulting in fatter take-home pay. It’s hard not to feel excited about that!
Moore has been consistent in his predictions, believing that the best is yet to come for the U.S. economy. He points out that the events of the last year have proven many economists wrong, as fears of a recession were largely unfounded. Instead, what America has seen is a booming economy that has exceeded expectations. Many people may not have felt the surge in their wallets yet, but they can certainly see the numbers—like gasoline prices dropping significantly from over $4 a gallon to an average of roughly $2.83. That’s a price that can make anyone’s heart skip a beat in a good way!
In addition to the drop in fuel prices, the stock market is also reflecting the good times. The NASDAQ and other major stock indices are at all-time highs, meaning retirement accounts are looking healthier than ever. Many 401(k) plans have seen an increase of $24,000 after adjusting for inflation this year alone. That’s a significant chunk of change that 150 million Americans can look forward to when planning for their golden years.
Though Moore admits he is not a big fan of tariffs, he still sees the positive impact of trade deals that have poured trillions of dollars into the U.S. economy. He insists that these agreements are essential for stimulating job growth and encouraging new businesses. With the economy showing promising signs of sustained growth, there’s a sense that the good vibes are just beginning. As 2026 approaches, the anticipation of continued prosperity fills the air, leaving many Americans hopeful about what’s to come. It seems the Green Ties are not just for show; they symbolize a bright future filled with economic opportunities for the nation!
