Larry Kudlow: The Bush Tax Cuts Worked

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:28:00 +0000

From New York Magazine:

Today, in an interview with Jim Tankersley, Kudlow provides the updated version of his theory. Kudlow’s biggest problem is that the United States recently had a president who closely followed his economic prescriptions, and the result was a mediocre recovery with stagnant wages culminating in a worldwide economic meltdown. Does this in any way cut against Kudlow’s belief in the stimulative power of marginal tax cuts? No, no, Kudlow explains. According to Tankersley, “Kudlow blames President Obama and his GOP predecessor, George W. Bush, for expanding safety net programs and discouraging work."

Democrats, if you believe in your own cause, embrace the Commission. Compete in, don’t boycott, the Monetary Policy Olympics. Let’s see what you’ve got. And may the best monetary policy — and America — win!

From Natalie Johnson at The Daily Signal:

"Without a binding rule, a discretionary central bank will always give us higher inflation without any gain in employment," said Norbert Michel, a research fellow in financial regulations for The Heritage Foundation.

From Nick Arnold at Town Hall:

What is the Commission and why should you care? It’s being constituted to take an empirical look at the Federal Reserve’s policies over the past 100 years and identify which policies most correlate with good job creation and a thriving economy. Under the Commission—All monetary rules get studied, no favorites

From The NY Sun:

What we like about this bill is that it lays this question where it belongs: the Congress of the United States. No central bank can be expected to examine its own performance. The universities did not create the Fed. The question of the Federal Reserve belongs in the body to which the Constitution grants the enumerated monetary powers. The Congress is the body that created the Fed, and it is the only body that can revise its mandates.

Special Edition TSS Niall Ferguson in the Huffington Post on The Rise and Fall of Krugmania in the UK.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 19 May 2015 00:40:00 +0000

In The Huffington Post, Niall Ferguson covers the downfall Krugmania in the UK.

In August 2011 Krugman returned to the fray with a blog post about the "delusions" of new Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, whose "experiment in austerity" was "going really, really badly." Three months later, in October 2011, Prime Minister Cameron's "fantasy" - that fiscal retrenchment was strengthening investor confidence in UK gilts - was given the same contemptuous treatment.

Unfortunately for Krugman, the more he talked about the confidence fairy (as he did here and here and here and here and here and here), the more actual business confidence recovered in the UK. In fact, at no point after May 2010 did it sink back to where it had been throughout the last two years of Gordon Brown's catastrophic premiership. The low at the end of 2011 (Q4-11 to Q1-12) was followed by lift-off in mid-2012 and a peak in mid-2014.
