And yet the markets don't react until the hikes happen.  Projected being the key word here Goofy.  That the economy did so well that they actually had to pull the trigger is a testament to Trump's policies.  You see, as of 2018 they projected four additional increases in 2019 and now it's down to two and that is even open to change.  So no, none of them can be expected to see into the future.  Regardless, discretionary spending went down, otherwise the deficit would have been even worse.
