Economist, congressman give their economic predictions
Houston Economist Patrick Jankowski had one word for skeptics who believe America’s long-term economic expansion is due to head downward: “Poppycock!”
“If you take one thing away from what I’ve said today,” Jankowski said, “just remember that we’re not in danger. All of the indicators I’m mentioning today say we’re not about to fall off the edge of the cliff.”
Jankowski is the regional economist and senior vice president of research at the Greater Houston Partnership. He and District 8 Congressman Kevin Brady spoke at the Lake Houston Area Chamber’s annual Economic Outlook Luncheon Feb. 19, forecasting what to expect locally and nationally for 2019.
