Pablo, That's the most ignorant thing you've said in quite some time...
...Kudlow began his career as a Staff Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He worked in a division of that bank that handled open market operations, which involve buying and selling bonds to help control inflation and interest rates....
...During the first term of the Reagan administration (1981–1985), Kudlow served as Associate Director for Economics and Planning in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which belongs to the Executive Office of the President. While he worked at the OMB, Kudlow was also the Washington, D.C., reporter of CNN's news program Business Morning, and an Advisory Committee member of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, more commonly known as Freddie Mac.[citation needed] In April 2005, New York governor George Pataki included Kudlow in a six-member state tax commission....
...In 1987 Kudlow was rehired by Bear Stearns as their chief economist and senior managing director....He also served as an economic counsel to A.B. Laffer & Associates, which is the San Diego, California, company of Arthur Laffer, a major supply-side economist and creator of the Laffer curve, an economic theory tying lower taxation levels to increased government revenues, at least at some taxation rates.
He was a member of the board of directors of Empower America, a supply-side economics organization founded in 1993 and merged in 2004 with the Citizens for a Sound Economy to form FreedomWorks. Kudlow is also consulting chief economist for American Skandia Life Assurance, Inc., in Connecticut, a subsidiary of insurance giant Prudential Financial...
LOL He was the CHIEF ECONOMIST at Bear Stearns? Do you know what Bear Stearns is trading at today ? Kudlow must have been Sarah Palin's first economics student. Ha Ha A window into Sarah's skills in addressing the country's fiscal meltdown. Copy Bear Stearns and Larry Kudlow
Yes, and now he is a talk radio host who panders to the Austrian economists. He is one step away from supporting the return to the gold standard, if he hasn't already. I am not sure why he doesn't just come out and support Ron Paul and be done with it.
Romney will get plenty of flack for the subsidies. This is not Romney's big campaign issue and it won't get much more than a mention in debates because Iowans will likely see it as either a favorable or non-issue.
Informed critics know he can't back down from his previous stance so they won't be giving him too much crap. Romney and Huckabee stood by the subsidy and did much better than the house hold names of McCain and Guiliani. Pandering as it may be Romney may get some secret brownie points with Iowans for this one.
One can never tell though. Tea partiers will be in full force, yet who knows if they will go with T-Paw on this one...
Larry Kudlow is nothing more than a washed-up talk show host who has now proven he has nothing more to offer to the world of finance but a good laugh. Sarah Palin...hahahahahahah
Kudlow was an early supporter of Palin - even back in 2008, boosting her for Veep before she was even mentioned elswhere, so his positive comments are no surprise.
He does have a serious consitency problem. He waffles repeatedly on his opinion of Obama. When the market is up, every thing is rosy and Obama's not so bad. If the market has a bad week, we are all doomed and Obama is the worst.
He has an entertaining show, but he is obtsue on many issues. He -like many opinion-spinners, only tells half the Romney story when it comes to his positions. He likes to push the cliched version of Romney. But he is entitled, it's his show.
Just curious why Larry didn't man-up and say this to Mitt directly, when he had Romney on his show, face to face, a few weeks back.
Palin is a natural genius. You don’t need Harvard for that. Sarah has inherited ‘teaching blood’; she’d probably be a natural at that too.
Maybe on the bus trip, Mitt can hook up with her. I’m not sure what they can accomplish in one or two sessions, but maybe she can just touch on the most important points regarding the current economical dilemmas.
"Romney's economic policies have and will have more to do with political expediency than anything he read in a book at Harvard. I just don't trust him." - RWN

Maybe you'd care to tell us
1) What Romney's policies are
and
2) How they have more to do with "political expediency"
Now, I know you'll do this task, to prove you have more substanace than me, who just throws out snark.
I am quite certain that in a Romney administration (if we are lucky enough to get there), if Sarah has some economics perspective to share, Mitt would listen. She would be politely and respectfully grilled, as would anyone, which is part of his leadership style.
RW, Psst. The things you do 20 years ago have a way of catching up. Kudlow was Chief Economist and Managing Director of Bear Stearns from 1987 to 1994 and certainly directed the company to pursue strategies that caused them to collapse in 2008. He was fired , as you well know, in 1994, for Cocaine use. Presumably this habit was in effect when he was establishing economic policy for Bear Stearns in the early 1990's. Ah Yes. Wise advice for Sarah Palin
This is the type of shallow media opinion, the Palin base eats up.
I think Larry, who didn't have the balls to say this to Romney face to face, should spell out Palin's policies and why Romney's are soooooooooo lacking, he needs to be schooled by Pain.
Kudlow like palin, and that's fine, but just like levin and Rush, they are going to gloss over her numerous challenges and over-inflate her potential.
I suspect that many talk show hosts try to come up with sound bites that will attract attention--it's good for business. Regardless whether one agrees with the premise, this would seem to have been designed accordingly.
I have to admit it's clever in a sense, if only because it's got us talking, and may well achieve his objective in coining it in the first place.
and how many companies has sarah turned around? how many jobs has she created? maybe in the minus department because she wrongfully fired the trooper......i would love to hear a debate between sarah and mitt on the economy....we would hear clear facts and reasoning from mitt, and hannity talking points from sarah. i bet she couldn't even answer a why question after her talking point. i have never heard her explain in detail what her talking point even meant or detailed any plan about her pom pom chants to get america back on track. we need a leader that will get things done...not another camera loving media frenze politician. and pleazzzzzz the biker look just doesn't look presidnetual....very dissapointed.
And then Mitt can teach Sarah how to hunt moose...
ReplyDeleteha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
ReplyDeleteMore talk radio. Moving on. Let me know when you have an actual economic expert say that and not Larry Kudlow.

ReplyDeletePablo, You disagree with his on some things, so he's not a REAL economist. I understand. That's how you roll.

Pssst...Craig. He was the Chief Economist at Bear Stearns over 20 years ago, but don't let a tiny detail like that get in the way of your rage.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere, romney is laughing at this comment by kudlow.
ReplyDeleteLets take a national poll to see who the country would vote for to to better the economy with romney and palin as the choices. done deal.
Larry Kudlow is nothing more than a washed-up talk show host who has now proven he has nothing more to offer to the world of finance but a good laugh. Sarah Palin...hahahahahahah

DOug, I'm just trying to match you...snark for snark. I don't know if I'm up for the challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteBesides, you know where to find the flip flop posts. There's no need for me to regurgitate them for you.
ReplyDeleteI can't spend as much time here as I like, so instead of posts, I have to drop bombs.
ReplyDeleteYou can make up any deficit in the quantity of posts. :)
I left it on another thread, but I don't see a Veep re-do for Sarah. It's go for the gold or nothing.
ReplyDeleteI think she would be too much of a tempting distraction for the media. They would use her, unfairly, while Obama slips by.
I am quite certain that in a Romney administration (if we are lucky enough to get there), if Sarah has some economics perspective to share, Mitt would listen. She would be politely and respectfully grilled, as would anyone, which is part of his leadership style.
ReplyDelete"Best Businessman in America"
How can anyone take Kudlow seriously after this statement?
ReplyDeleteMikeZ
Kudlow, is probably the smartest economist you’ll find regularly on tv.
ReplyDeleteAnd he has the courage to tell the truth about Sarah Palin.
Brains and courage, that is a big part of why he is successful.
Do you know who else is successful? Mitt Romney. Does that mean he has brains and courage too?
ReplyDeleteI finally listened to it...haha.

ReplyDeleteThe words palin and genius should never be used in the same sentence.

Apparently Kudlow is just another old geezer blinded by Sarah Palin's sex appeal. He joins the ranks of Rush, Levin, and a host of others.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who would say this can't be taken seriously. At all.

This just reinforces the notion that Mitt IS the guy to beat on the economy. That's why the hyperbolic insult makes any sense at all.
ReplyDeleteThat was me.
