Track25 President’s Economy

Tracking the US Economy

Why Track25?

  • Track25 is for those who want to better understand what is going on in the US economy. 
  • The  US economy was a main focus of the 2024 election cycle. Candidates promoted their often fabricated explanations of prices, inflation, interest rates, and economic growth.
  • It is common practice to label the economy during a term as a president’s economy, for example the “Carter economy”, “Reagan economy.”
  • Track25 gives a straight look at key indicators of the president’s economy starting January 20, 2025–with no interpretations of pundits and politicians.
