The Wake up Call for Tuesday: Talking Tariffs, the Economy, Interest Rates, and Supply and Demand with Economist Dr. Rick Harper

Today on the wake-up call live on WPNN 103.7 we spoke with Economist Dr. Rick Harper.  Harper is the Economic Advisor to the Triumph Gulf Coast board, the body charged with overseeing the $1.5 Billion in BP oil spill monies from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Disaster.  We spoke with Rick about the tariffs, the trade war, the impacts of automation on the low-skilled workforce, and his predictions on whether or not we will go into a recession at some point over the next year.  The discussion was very interesting.
