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.
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.
I will NEVER vote to give my country to fraudulently documented foreigners.
That’s precisely what Jeb wants us to do.
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?
Jeb is the LaRaza lobby. Tell that POS and his ilk to go down to mexico city, and run against neito.
Lemmie see, 4% of the population would be about 13-15 million new Mehhiccan “citizens” to help the Democrats win every single election to the end of time.
Larry Kudlow lost credibility a long time ago. Most of the stuff he listed would prevent 4% growth.
You want 4% growth? Renegotiate all these so called free trade treaties so they benefit us first and everybody else second. Get rid of all these regulations and put the EPA in a box. Cut the corporate tax rate in half. Get rid of Obamacare.
Bush is right about faster growth. He’s wrong about how to get there. Opening up for more low wage earners to stagnate growth, to allow government to grow endlessly, and crushing our health care and education systems with federal heavy involvement is not the way to do it.
Most economists.. “It can’t happen and it’s never happened.” “Productivity is too low.” “The labor force is growing too slowly.” “Secular stagnation.”
Bull... Most “economists” are obviously really really stupid.
First of all, this is an admission that the economy really does stink. Regardless of what the msm generally is telling us.
Secondly, simple solution to our economic problem. Remove the burdensome regulations and taxes on companies and people and watch the economy take off and prosper. The companies and people will grow.
......and let’s not forget Kudlow is all in with amnesty and opening the floodgates.
