AP FACT CHECK: Budget chief slams Obama growth forecast

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump budget director Mick Mulvaney, defending an administration that promises more economic growth than many think it can deliver, said Tuesday it's the Obama administration that went overboard in its forecasts for growth. MULVANEY, head of the Office of Management and Budget: I went back and looked at some of the economic assumptions that the Obama administration made in its first couple of years. The economy expanded instead at a sluggish pace, closer to 2 percent a year, leaving many voters who supported President Donald Trump feeling left behind. Average growth has declined from its averages in the decades after World War II because fewer workers are entering the economy_largely a reflection of the aging baby boomer population that is starting to retire.
