Trump’s 3% Growth for the 1%CAMBRIDGE – US President Donald Trump has boasted that his policies will produce sustained 3-4% growth for many years to come.
His prediction flies in the face of the judgment of many professional forecasters, including on Wall Street and at the Federal Reserve, who expect that the US will be lucky to achieve even 2% growth.
