Congressional analysts Tuesday projected that President Donald Trump has inherited a stable economy and a government that is on track to run a $559 billion budget deficit for the ongoing budget year.
The new estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office say the economy will hold relatively steady, with economic growth rising slightly to 2.3 percent this year and unemployment averaging less than 5 percent for the duration of Trumps term.
Trump is promising higher growth as his administration curbs regulations, overhauls the tax code, and repeals the Affordable Care Act, former President Barack Obamas signature accomplishment.

Half the country out of work, but steady.
Economy?? You mean what Obama left for America?? The total f-ing mess and HUGE DEBT he created??
That was the plan and here it is.
And that’s 5% unemployment by their beyond-fuzzy math.
“Stable”
Isn’t that was the news says about people who on life support are in ICUs.
Very very misleading headline. The deficit is for the Upcoming year. He is inheriting a TOTAL deficit of $20,000,000,000,000.
to inherits .....?????
AP didn’t get the memo that ebonics is not a viable standard.
AP propaganda as normal
What world the AP watching?
Yo, Ape Pee, an economy that is on life support is not stable.
And the 559 billion dollar debt is nothing to crow about. It wasn't that long ago that Congress didn't even spend 559 billion dollars a year.
Now they spend over 2 trillion dollars a year and another 559 billion on top of that.
Even The Titanic is “stable”.
AP = All Propaganda
Trump to inherits?.................AP has fired all their editors?................
I had to screencap the top half of that. AP will most likely fix the typo later.
And $19.8 Trillion in debt.
They won’t notice...............
After our “non-partisan” Congressional Budget Office gave Obamacare a big boost that it was going to be great, save money, blah blah I gave up on listening to them. The whole damned makeup of Washington is corrupt and living high on the hog.
The press still says “non-partisan” in a transparent attempt to make it sound like the phrase is synonymous with “non-ideological”. Is anyone still fooled by that?
