  • Reaganomics versus Bidenomics

    The Hill ^ | 07/25/2023 | JERRY HAAR
    All administrations search for a slogan to mobilize support and communicate with the public. For Donald Trump it was “Make America Great Again.” For Joe Biden it is “an economic policy for the middle class” — or, in shorthand, “Bidenomics.” Rooted in the philosophical foundation of the Democratic Party with its pro-labor, pro-union, Big Government orientation, Bidenomics is the polar opposite of the Reaganomics that President Biden and his acolytes increasingly lambast. While Reaganomics has been out of favor for some time now, since “trickle down” economics never panned out, the Reagan years are still hailed as one of the...
  • The great divorce: GOP to launch investigations into big business

    The party will be over for big businesses that push “woke” agendas once the Grand Old Party takes over the House next month, insiders told The Post. Long viewed as the party of big business, fed-up Republicans will now lead committees and have subpoena power as they seek to punish investment firms that prioritize the environment over fossil fuels, as well as trying to rein in China’s outsized influence on the US economy, according to several sources interviewed by The Post. “There is frustration with specific issues like woke capitalism but it’s also the case that the GOP sees Wall...

    The Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov. 14, 2017 | Ron Eastes
    When House Republicans unveiled their plan for tax reform this month, Democrats offered a curious response. Rather than give their own proposal, they held a mock hearing—a show trial, really—on Kansas’ 2012 tax cuts. Democrats see my state as proof that supply-side economics doesn’t work and that the GOP’s national tax reform will lead to budget cuts and enormous deficits. But the comparison is less a cautionary tale than a tall tale. I was Kansas’ state treasurer from 2011-17, and no one watched the dollars flowing in and out more closely than I did. Consider a few facts: First, the...

  • Can A Republican Congress Force Obama to Adopt Reaganomics?

    Radix News ^ | November 1, 2014 | Lawrence Kudlow
    Election Day will produce a new Republican Congress, or so the latest polls tell us. If so, the huge losses for the Obama Democrats — both in 2010 and this year — will have come in large measure from the economic failures of a party that has moved radically left over the past 20 years. Hillary Clinton just argued that corporations and businesses don’t create jobs, and that a higher minimum wage and other government actions do. It showcases just how far the Democrats have moved left since her husband, working with a Republican Congress, launched pro-growth supply-side policies like...

    Despite adding almost a trillion dollars to our national debt and failing to keep the unemployment rate at or below 8% as advertised, liberals consider President Obama's signature stimulus package — the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — a success, in part because of the number of jobs it "saved." Beyond the obvious failings of the president's plan, now more than five years old, the approach is illustrative of how presidents sometimes try to stabilize an economy using fiscal policy. But there is a right way and a wrong way. Sen. Ted Cruz recently remarked on two very different fiscal...

    At an April 2012 campaign rally after a torrential rain storm, Francois Hollande on the eve of being the first Socialist Party member elected President of France in 24 years boldly proclaimed: “We have chased away the clouds, the sky is all ‘rose.” The crowd roared their approval of Hollande’s imagery communism red triumphing in France. But on January 14th, 2014 Hollande solemnly acknowledged the failure of his collectivist policies by announcing his Administration would cut $40.8 billion of taxes on companies and the self-employed, plus reduce social security charge paid by employers by 5.4%. More shocking to the Left,...

    While Governor Nixon travels the state telling taxpayers he can’t cut their taxes, Kansas cuts taxes and welcomes new jobs. When Kansas passed a series of tax cuts for businesses and individuals during the 2012 legislative session, the media and liberal politicians scoffed. “How can state revenues grow if taxes are cut?” they asked. Gloom and doom followed. Media and politicians across the country, even within the state borders, predicted financial chaos, massive state service cuts, even bankruptcy.

    Daily Beast ^ | Nov 13, 2012 | Michael Tomasky
    Trickle-down economics died last Tuesday. The post-election chatter has been dominated by demographics, Latinos, women, and the culture war. But economics played a strong and even pivotal role in this election too, and Reaganomics came out a huge loser, while the Democrats have started to wrap their arms around a simple, winning alternative: the idea that government must invest in the middle class and not the rich. It’s middle-out economics instead of trickle-down, and it won last week and will keep on winning. Supply side was rejected. And in its place, voters went for an economic vision that says: don’t...

    Obama loves to tell you how long we've been in 'recovery' and how many jobs he's 'saved or created'- please. Yet Ronald Reagan actually created more than twenty million jobs over his two presidential terms- growing the country’s real GDP by nearly 30% in the process: [IBD chart] Those kind of results make one wonder how Obama’s multi-trillion-dollar spending orgy could have impressed anybody: he had pledged an unemployment rate in the fives by now, driven by 3.5M new and 'saved' jobs -whatever those are- still, a paltry figure 16.5M jobs shy of The Gipper’s towering accomplishment. We now know...
  • Mitt Romney Is Stuck Because He's Not A Pro-Growth Republican

    Forbes ^ | 1/3/12 | Paul Hoffmeister
    Paul Hoffmeister is the chief economist at Bretton Woods Research, LLC. According to the polls summarized by RealClearPolitics, Mitt Romney has been unable to win more than 25% of the Republican vote for the party’s presidential nomination for more than a year. This is because the former Massachusetts governor is not a pro-growth Republican. Instead, his economic platform reflects a man who is devoutly Keynesian, and who, as president, would not be able to reinvigorate the U.S. economy. A pro-growth Republican is a “supply-sider” who believes that stable money, low taxes, and limited regulation produce prosperity. And as Art Laffer...

    Newt Gingrich is planning to turn to a sharp "jobs and growth" message both on the airwaves and in over 30 appearances next week in the final run-up to the Iowa caucuses, according to campaign officials. Gingrich's campaign, acknowledging that they've seen his Iowa numbers erode under an intense assault, said the former speaker would use a new round of post-Christmas TV commericals and a bus tour across Iowa to draw an implicit but clear contrast between his economic plan and that of Mitt Romney. Gingrich aides are also prepping a round of endorsements from conservative economists and supply-side thinkers...

    Newt Gingrich promises to revive the Gipper's economic plan -- and then some Newt Gingrich's economic plan is not Reaganesque. It is not, as so many of his Republican presidential rivals' claim their plans to be, inspired by Reaganomics. It is Reaganomics, cryogenically frozen in 1981, thawed 30 years later, and pumped full of Newt-style steroids in order to save the American people from slow growth. The plan features massive tax cuts (which would largely benefit businesses and the wealthy), less government spending (through the privatization of entitlement programs), interest-rate hikes, and rampant deregulation. The foundation is classic supply-side, trickle-down,...

    “I think Nine-Nine-Nine is a wonderful plan. I think a lot of the candidates have very good plans for tax reform, but I love the Nine-Nine-Nine Plan. I think it's a great first step.”-- Economist Arthur Laffer, top tax adviser to President Ronald Reagan, on “ Special Report" with Bret Baier.” Arthur Laffer, one of the high priests of Reaganomics, who told Bret Baier Herman Cain’s Nine-Nine-Nine Plan is “wonderful.” House GOP Budget Boss Paul Ryan told the Daily Caller he “loves” Cain’s plan. In Republican circles those are two very big boosters, especially for a guy who is said...
  • Obama vs. Reagan : In historical match-up, Reaganomics trounces Obamanomics, 280,000 to 0.

    President Zero. The brand-new nickname for Barack ObamAA+ symbolizes America’s total net jobs created in August: Zippo. So, how many jobs emerged in August 1983, the analogous point in Ronald Reagan’s presidency? 280,000. Proportional to today’s population, that equals 367,360 new hires last month. Citizens pondering Obama’s latest jobs speech and how to get America working again should focus on today’s great Keynesian experiment. Ronald Reagan’s supply-side mixture of tax cuts, deregulation, and sound money competes directly against Obama’s big-government blend of Keynesian stimuli, rampant red tape, and promiscuous printing of money — as if dollars were wallpaper. The late...

    The only way President Barack Obama can solve the nation’s economic woes is to adopt “common-sense” Reaganomics, the policy’s architect Arthur Laffer claims in an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview. Laffer said the White House called him in the spring and asked him to speak to Obama’s former Council of Economic Advisors’ chairman Austen Goolsbee – and he had told him exactly the same thing. “Reaganomics would fix any economy that’s in the doldrums,” Laffer said. “It’s not a magic sauce, it’s common sense. “You’ve got to get rid of all federal taxes in the extreme and replace them with a low-rate...

    The worst thing about the 2008 primaries -- other than, you know, the result -- was the huge amount of time wasted on what amounted to a Republican "Spartacus" re-enactment. Instead of each nominee yelling, "I'm Spartacus," and, "No, I'm Spartacus," we got, "I'm Ronald Reagan!" "No, I'm the real Ronald Reagan here." The obsession with finding another Reagan was really a veiled slap at the Republican who actually occupied the White House at the time. Nobody was running to be another George W. Bush, nobody promised to give "four more years" of what they got for the last eight....

    President Barack Obama, Congressional Democrats, and the Washington Establishment have now tried everything to revive America’s moribund economy…except Reaganomics. We have seen over a trillion in Keynesian stimulus spending, record shattering deficits, easy money, bank bailouts, mortgage bailouts, low interest rates, even fake, Keynesian, “tax cuts” (based on tax credits rather than reduced rates). Yet, at no point in the last 70 years, going back to the Great Depression, has the American economy suffered unemployment this high for this long, or such extended stagnation without a rebound or recovery. The American economy does not lie flat on its back for...
