GOP Criticizes Biden for Realistic Economic Projections

Catherine Rampell: “The administration projected strong growth this year and next — 5.2 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively — as the economy bounces back from the pandemic recession.”

“But over the rest of the decade, it estimated the economy will grow only about 1.8 to 2.2 percent each year. That’s roughly in line with forecasts from the Congressional Budget Office and the Federal Reserve.”

“To Republicans, this judicious forecast — this failure to grossly exaggerate or lie — is somehow damning.”
