Published: Mar 13 2025, 1 pmeznews.inAs discussions about a potential recession in the US intensify, economists estimate a 35% likelihood, driven by government spending cuts and President Trump's tariff strategies targeting major trading partners like China and Canada. Dubbed “Trumpcession,” the term reflects the unconventional economic policies that may lead to significant changes in the US economy. Despite recent fears, the US economy has shown resilience, with a low unemployment rate and ongoing growth, although the federal deficit reached $1.833 trillion in 2024, the highest outside the COVID era. Trump's ambition to revive American manufacturing faces challenges amid technological advancements and a service-dominated job market. The geopolitical landscape, influenced by conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war, further complicates the economic outlook. As inflation and income cuts loom, the impact on American citizens remains uncertain, raising questions about whether the price of Trump's economic vision will be worth the potential pain.

Murthy suggested that incentives should accompany benefits, using free electricity as an example to advocate for monitoring the impact on education and family engagement.
