It now heads to President Trump, who is expected to sign it. - The version that passed the Senate Monday evening in an 85-5 vote also contains a watered-down version of a measure initially meant to ban private equity firms from owning and buying single-family homes.

Data: Factset; Chart: Danielle Alberti/Axios Brexit is the real-world test of what happens when a major economy voluntarily raises trade barriers, restricts the free flow of workers and generates years of policy uncertainty — all at once. - A decade since the vote to leave the European Union, the results are largely in. Why it matters: The economic drag came from overlapping effects. - Businesses held off on investment as uncertainty dragged on, executives spent years consumed by Brexit logistics, and the firms most integrated with European markets were often the ones hit hardest. By the numbers: Since the Brexit referendum, the U.K. economy has grown about 13% — less than half the American pace over the same period, according to…
