Helps explain the improved job mkt for those of us that were cynical about the numbers. Interestingly this was one of the biggest revisions in a positive direction that we have had since the end of the recession - I was expecting the opposite.

Buying an election?:

"Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 9.5 percent in the third quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent in the second. National defense increased 12.9 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent. Nondefense increased 3.0 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.4 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment decreased 0.4 percent, compared with a decrease of 1.0 percent."

So much for govt restraint.
