Multiple Fox programs pushed claims that the Trump economy would see soaring economic growth of 4-5% following an April 9 interview with one of President Donald Trump\u2019s economic advisers. But a day later, two guests on Fox Business\u2019 flagship morning program shot down this fantasy.<\/p>\n
On Thursday\u2019s edition of Fox Business\u2019\u00a0Mornings with Maria, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett boasted that Trump’s \u201cpolicies are going to create a golden age\u201d and reiterated his projection of 4-5% economic growth this year. Anchor Maria Bartiromo responded, \u201cWow, so you still look for 4-5% growth for this year?\u201d Hassett replied: \u201cYes, that\u2019s right, that\u2019s right, because productivity\u2019s already giving us 2.5, and so if we get a little out of everything else, then you can get way north of three.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Multiple Fox programs pushed claims that the Trump economy would see soaring economic growth of 4-5% following an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[28,101],"class_list":["post-577111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
