$7.9 trillion: That’s the total expected economic toll of the coronavirus in the U.S.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that U.S. GDP will be reduced by 3% through 2030.
That total economic decline is in spite of the $3 trillion in stimulus spending.
Congress is currently considering a fourth phase of stimulus spending to combat the economic toll of the pandemic. Proposals have ranged from $1 trillion to $3 trillion.
Democrats in the House of Representatives have passed a $3 trillion stimulus bill. Republicans in the Senate have no plans to pass the bill.
The U.S. economy is expected to bottom in the current calendar quarter. The official unemployment rate could reach 20% in this month, an increase from 14.7% in April.
