 WASHINGTON  AP  鈥?The Congressional Budget Office said Monday that the U.S. economy could be $15.7 trillion smaller over the next decade than it otherwise would have been if Congress does not mitigate the economic damage from the coronavirus.The CBO, which had already issued a report forecasting a severe economic impact over the next two years, expanded that forecast to show that the severity of the economic shock could depress growth for far longer.The new estimate said that over the 2020-2030 period, total GDP outp stanley cup ut could be $15.7 tril stanley cup lion lower than CBO had been projecting as recently as January. That would equal 5.3% of lost GDP over the coming decade.After adjusting for inflation, CBO said the lost output would total $7.9 t stanley cup rillion, a loss of 3% of inflation-adjusted GDP.CBO called this a  8220 ignificant markdown in GDP output as a result of the pandemic.Business closures and social distancing measures are expected to curtail consumer spending, while the recent drop in energy prices is projected to severely reduce U.S. investment in the energy sector, CBO Director Philip Swagel said in a letter.Recent legislation will, in CBO   assessment, partially mitigate the deterioration in economic conditions, Swagel said in the letter to Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. The two had requested the information as a way to pressure Republicans to follow the lead of the House and pass more economic relief.Last wee Jtcw Wall Street loses ground amid recession talks, marking 2nd straight weekly loss
