van hollen for his opening questions. >> thank you mr. chairman. there's no doubt about the fact that increased economic growth would be a very good thing. we've seen 62 consecutive months of good job growth, which is the longest sustained private sector job growth since the end of the 1990s. but obviously the more we can do to increase economic growth, the better. you're knew but i'm assuming the cbo has not changed its analysis that the republican budget proposed would actually slow down economic growth in the next couple of years. is that the case? >> anything that slows aggregate demand in the near term could slow economic growth. >> yes. i understand that. and so -- and the republican budget slows aggregate demand, according to the congressional budget office. correct? >> that's right. so i do think it's worth emphasizing, since i thought we were all concerned about the last quarter's figures although there are powerful arguments that these have to do with some seasonal adjustments, but nevertheless, we should be concerned about anything that
