To be fair, because of the last stand off in increasing the debt limit, many previous expenditures were delayed from hitting the books. The timeline of the metrics being compared isn't the same, despite them happening "in the same quarter".

Yup, the jobs numbers gets cook as well. Here'sx one I looked into a while ago. 122,000 "new" jobs. Of those, 59,000 were new government jobs.

GDP is from recorded money. Selling your neighbor some eggs for a pie isn't on it. Only shit they can tax is on it. It incentivizes utterly destructive behavior.

In a couple of months the GDP number will be revised downward. The economic numbers from the Biden admin are crooked like everything else.
