[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Upping this thread to talk about current negotiations with the new Administration.  Moderate GOP are meeting with Biden today. I hope he makes them feel embarrassed about coming to him with such a ridiculous lowball.[/quote]

Their number is more reasonable than the $1.9 T that is filled with non-Covid crap. 
And, in terms of projections:

[quote]The Congressional Budget Office upgraded its U.S. economic outlook, saying GDP growth will recover "rapidly."
GDP is expected to return to its pre-pandemic size in mid-2021 and the labor force is forecast to rebound to its pre-pandemic level in 2022, the CBO said.
Importantly, the CBO said its rosier projections do not assume any new stimulus, including President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion plan.
The CBO projects the unemployment rate to fall to 5.3% in 2021 and to 4% between 2024 and 2025.[/quote]

Those numbers aren’t as positive as you say. 2025? That’s too long.[/quote]

5.3% in 2021.  Full employment in the US is around 5% when you account for the unemployable and people who don't really want jobs but need to look for whatever reason. That extra 1.3% in 2025 is practically irrelevant.  [/quote]
