Trump’s Economic Plans Would Result In A Long Recession, Analysts Say
If all of the economic policies presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has trumpeted on the campaign trail were to become reality, the U.S. economy would plunge back into recession, losing millions of jobs, according to a new analysis from Moody’s Analytics.
The heart of Trump’s economic proposals come down to tax, trade, and immigration policy. He’s put forward a tax package that experts have found would cost $9.5 trillion and hand nearly all of the benefits to the wealthiest. He’s promised to levy huge tariffs on imports from countries like China and Mexico and he’s railed against trade deals. And he says he’ll deport 11 million undocumented immigrants while building a wall along the Mexican border.
If all of that were to happen just how Trump proposes it, Moody’s analysis finds that the American economy would dip into a recession beginning in 2018 that would last through 2020 — longer than the Great Recession. It estimates there would be 3.5 million fewer jobs and the unemployment rate would rise to a peak of 7.4 percent, as opposed to the current rate of 4.7.
And while Trump has promised to generate economic growth of as much as 6 percent or more a year, Moody’s forecasts that GDP will fall by close to 2.4 percent over that recessionary period. In fact, annual GDP growth would only average 1.4 percent between 2016 and 2026, two years after Trump’s presidency would end if he were given two terms, and in some years would be negative.
Yep, lets fuck over our middle class some more and cut the shit out of infrastructure, science, r&d and education. A sure loser!
