CBO Cuts U.S. Growth Forecast Amid Warnings on Trade Spats
MAGA!
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...de-uncertainty
Quote:
The Congressional Budget Office slightly lowered its forecast for U.S. economic growth for this year, and warned of increasing uncertainty from American plans to widen tariffs.
The U.S. economy is projected to expand 3.1 percent this year, down from a previous forecast in April of 3.3 percent, the non-partisan group said in a report on Monday. The expansion will ease to 2.4 percent in 2019, unchanged from April’s projection, on slowing growth in business investment and government purchases, the CBO said.
“Despite the volatility in the rate of GDP growth in the first and second quarters of the year, CBO expects the momentum underlying that growth to largely continue into the second half of the year before slowing gradually in subsequent years,” the group said.

Trump’s tariffs are hurting our farmers
CA’s very Red Central Valley farmers are feeling the hurt, big time. They are not included in Donny’s idiotic relief package, either. Hopefully they will realize just how unhelpful Donny’s biggest Central Valley supporter, Devin Nunes, has been for them, and vote his sorry ass out.

The rash of drug overdoses you’ve been reading about are due to synthetic drugs, mostly from Mexico and China. Donny’s rudeness and stupidity on trade is making things much worse. It’s his idiot base that is being effected the most. Ignorance and belligerence have consequences, never good ones.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...721_story.html
Keith Humphreys, a professor of psychiatry and a drug policy expert at the Stanford University School of Medicine, said the United States is poorly positioned to have an impact in China’s illicit supply of fentanyl because of the ongoing feud over tariffs between the Trump administration and Beijing.
“They could help us, but they’re not going to,” said Humphreys, who spent a year in the Obama administration’s Office of National Drug Control Policy. The way to enlist the Chinese is “carefully, respectfully, and not on the front page or on Twitter.”

US trade deficit jumps by the most in 3 years
The U.S. trade deficit increased to a five-month high in July.
Exports of soybeans and civilian aircraft declined and imports hit a record high, suggesting that trade could be a drag on economic growth in the third quarter.
The Commerce Department said the trade gap jumped 9.5 percent to $50.1 billion, widening for a second straight month.

Anyone else tired of all this “winning” yet?
