      1.4 -> 0.7 -> 0.5. Last revision was a downward revision in business investment.

      With February core PCE being 3%, it’s a very anemic economic environment; one that still has to show the impact of the oil price shock.

      That said, a lot of projections by this WH assume GDP growth of close to 4% and considerable debt reduction. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/trump-cea-projections-tracker#:~:text=Real%20Gross%20Domestic%20Product%20(GDP,%25%20of%20GDP)%20by%202034.

      Visit the CNBC home page. There is no mention of this report. I have never seen them not put this report on their front page. Would those that talk about the “fake liberal media” let me know of a single time any media outlet has buried a negative economic report while Biden, Obama or Clinton were in The White House?
