with the Council of Economic Advisers, Office of Management and
Budget, and Department of Treasury. We do this twice a year. And this
is our current update. If we look at the forecast, the main number,
kind of the headline number that people tend to focus on the most is
the GDP forecast. And we have revised our GDP forecast down for next
year by four-tenths of a percent. So we are now forecasting 2.7
percent for 2008, as opposed to 3.1 percent. -

Joint Press Release of the Council of Economic Advisers, the Department of the Treasury, and the Office of Management and Budget
The Administration today released an updated economic forecast that
projects continued solid economic growth and labor market performance.
It assumes the continuation of the Administration’s pro-growth
policies, including extension of the President’s tax relief. The
growth forecast was revised up for this year, reflecting
stronger-than-expected mid-year growth, but was lowered for next year
due to recent financial market turmoil and continued difficulties in
the housing sector.
