The report reflects expectations that Congress and the Trump administration will eventually pass a tax reform package that includes corporate tax cuts. “But we expect the effects of economic growth to be modest,” Erlich said.

a cardboard cut-out of Trump, Obama, Hillary.......anyone, in the Oval Office, and the effect on the economy would have been exactly the same. Puff your chest up about THAT, Donnie Dim-Wit! Give us another half hour speech on your wonderful achievements ( without the bottle of water, please!) that actually achieved nothing and so you can polish your own ego. Assclown!
