Remember the wonderful Biden economy. Last January, the expected US economic growth was 2.5-3%.
But now we have the Trump economy.
Yesterday, the US Fed cut its US growth forecast from 1.7% to 1.4%, but it is likely to fall further.
Trump & his supporters are to blame.

@booker.senate.gov didn’t just “talk” for a record setting amount of time. He made speeches, taught lessons, he inspired and informed. This is just incredibly impressive work from the senator, his staff, and the colleagues who helped.
