Charlie McHenry<p>WASHINGTON — Investor who predicted the 2008 financial crisis says he's 'worried about something worse than a recession' - Ray Dalio, the founder of the hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, said he is "worried about something worse than a recession" if President Donald Trump does not properly handle tariffs and other economic policies.<br>"I think that right now we are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession," Dalio said on NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
