Trump is engineering 'a recession-level event': economist

Raw Story  

President Donald Trump's new operations to deport undocumented immigrants have already spooked large numbers of agricultural workers who are staying away from their jobs for fear of being caught up in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid. In an interview with The New Republic, Cal State-Bakersfield economics professor Richard S. Gearhart warned that the loss of farm workers could portend "absolute economic devastation" in the coming months. Trump vowed during the 2024 presidential campaign that he would bring down the price of groceries, which had spiked early in the Biden administration due to a quick rise in inflation. Even though inflation had returned to under three percent by the end of Biden's term, many of Trump's proposed policies, including not just mass deportations but also hefty tariffs on all imported goods, could send costs soaring again.
