Kudlow is a slavish sycophant to the globalist GOPe. If he says it’s raining, look out the window.
4 percent economic growth is inspiring and awesome! See, see...if Hillary is elected, then we’ll get 0%! Don’t you right-wing clowns want to settle for half a loaf for now? Sheesh!
You’re not going to get 4% growth in an economy based 70% on debt spending, and much of that on goods that are made elsewhere.
Plus, the whole concept of perpetual growth (at whatever percentage) is a myth. You can get sporadic periods of growth, but not perpetual growth.
I don’t want to grow at 4% if it means I have to turn over my country to a bunch of Mexicans.
Ain’t that the truth.
If only we had liberal Republicans running the executive branch in addition to Congress. Then we could become a socialist economic powerhouse as part of the TPP and TTIP.
That would be so different than what’s happening now with Obama and a liberal Republican Congress. /sarc
[Now, the back story to the Jeb Bush 4 percent target starts in Dallas in 2010 at the George W. Bush Institute. Executive director James Glassman, a former undersecretary of state, was casting about for an economic agenda. And one of his board members, Jeb Bush, tossed out a centerpiece goal of 4 percent growth. It stuck.]
Sigh. Where to start?
Oh wait, it won’t do any good anyhow.
After the Reagan ***tax rates*** fully went into effect, alongside Paul Volcker’s conquering of inflation, the economy grew at 4.5 percent annually between 1982 and 1989. These were the “seven fat years.
Democrats love of taxes have results poverty.
Kudlow loves the bubble machine.
I will NEVER vote to give my country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
That’s precisely what Jeb wants us to do.
Yes, Larry has been on board The Cheap Labor Express for some time.
The Leftists who dominate our alphabet agencies believe that saving the planet requires the USA to have a zero or even negative growth rate.
What did Bush's brother do during his eight years to root out and remove the hordes of them that Clinton left there - and what reason do we have to believe that Jeb would be any more aggressive in doing so?
Kudlow, not my favorite econ pundit.
Yes, we have had a lot of success before we started to export our factories and jobs. And we can have it again when we bring back all those factories and jobs. Bush, have you heard the trade sucking sound yet?
Why would our masters who want to save the planet want people to move to the most wasteful (by their standards) planet on earth? Why do they want to move manufacturing to countries which are the biggest polluters on the planet? They've gotten too arrogant and confident to even bother trying to sound sensible anymore.

You said it so I don’t have to. His lips are always firmly attached to the butt cheeks of whoever is in power.
Despite your personal opinion on the author, what is wrong with establishing economic growth as a goal?
Every republican should be hitting this hard and at the very least agreeing that entitlement reform is a lynch pin.
Still, there is no reason for the economy not to grow at 4%/yr if the government actually chooses to get out of the way and incentivize growth.
Jeb is the LaRaza lobby. Tell that POS and his ilk to go down to mexico city, and run against neito.
