If we care about the future of the economy, then we have to pay close attention to the policies that shape it.
We are currently living in an age of extreme -- and in certain cases, unprecedented -- levels of monetary and fiscal policy.
Is that wise? Or should market forces be allowed to play out more & free us from the constant intervention of the central planners?
To explore this, we welcome economist Dr Arthur Laffer. Dr Laffer was the first to hold the title of Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget in the early 1970s. He then later served as a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board. He's perhaps best known for developing the Laffer curve, a model for determining the optimal balance between tax revenues and economic growth.
Dr Laffer sees the major nations of the world declining into a sclerotic senescence. BUT...he sees a way for us to reverse that plight, on a timeline that could be much faster than many imagine is possible.
The key question is: Will we have the conviction, courage and commitment to embrace the necessary reforms?
For an important discussion with a respected economic advisor to nearly every President since Nixon, watch this video with Dr Art Laffer.

BTW this was the most uplifting you tube I've watched in 4 years.
Adam,
1. It’s not about getting all your questions in.
2. It’s about letting the great Arthur Laffer talk without petty interruptions.
3. You were almost rude.
4. And your condescending reactions to Dr. Laffer’s great points evince you’re a Leftist-leaning economist.
Adam if your Guest thinks. China is NOT doing well. Why does Janet Yellen goes to China to blame them for overcapacity. ??? and Russian economy this year has preforming better than EU economy. From where your Guest gets his wrong information ???
Right or wrong your Gest people. can make mistakes But about your program Always Brilliant always Like thumbs up. 👍👍👍
What about India. Indias immigrants crushing it here in NJ and it’s employment population
Please bring Dr Laffer back for a discussion on Property Taxes (request from Calif.). Such a wealth of historical information - what a jewel! Thank you for sharing.
yeah would also like to hear what he has to say. Even though i have a lot of things i disagree with, i think hes really interesting.
People in California love their Prop 13 rates. People who have been in their house for 25 years could pay 5x less than their neighbor who just purchased. What is a surprise is that the 25 year old Prop 13 grandfather rate is still higher than a new house in another tax friendly state!
Absolutely! 👍
Problem is you have a George Soros mentality. That wants to take down the West
Yes please
The whole talk about "reverse" market crash (real estate and stock market) basically argues that we are nowhere near done with inflation and that we might actually experience "hyperinflation" in the near future combined with accelerating poverty levels across the nation or going thru a historical economic depression...those are the extreme conditions that have produced the reverse market crashes in most examples I've seen. I personally don't see anything that extreme coming, but who knows.
And that would be a terrible situation that no one should root for.
It will happen if we stop QT and lower interest rates. we have printed more money than inflation so there is room for things to continue inflating. we need to reduce the money supply and the only way to do that is deflation.
With rates climbing like never before in ’23 coupled with uncontrollable inflation, and our own mortgage at now 7.5% what are the best alternatives/strategies for avoiding a crunch and maximize my $600k savings other than moving in to an RV with my two kids and husband.
Consider reallocating from real estate to stocks. Severe recessions offer market buying opportunities with caution, as volatility can yield short-term trading prospects. Not financial advice but it may be wise to invest, as cash isn't ideal in this period. I simply adopted the service of an advisor early 2020 amid covid-outbreak, and so far, I've attained my most measurable financial milestone of over $900k after subsequent investments.
This is quite huge ! much more info needed please, what did you invest in?
They raise interest rates, but then continue their obscene overspending and money printing. Such a mess
They stopped printing money when they started hiking interest rates. That's the literal meaning of quantitative tightening.
yes, my point being why go through this process if you will continue overspending and devaluing the dollar either way. It’s a mess, we wouldn’t be in this spot if our government could run a budget. On a personal note I've worked closely with my advisor to grow my portfolio from $200k to $4.8 million through stock trading because as a business woman, I prefer to invest my money rather than let it sit idle and lose value over time due to inflation.
She is known as - Chasity George Charles. please do your own research.
I found her contact details through a web search, and I'm pleased to see she is well recognized by AdvisorCheck. I've already sent her an email, hoping she can find some time in her busy schedule to assist me. Thank you for not gatekeeping.
@@eabhaconnor2 I think The US government needs to get US out of all these senseless wars, & extract their fair share from billionaires, & Corporations. Then we could shore up Social Security, provide an education, & healthcare, AND begin to pay down the national debt. But this will never happen as long as Americans keep voting for 1 of the 2 Corporate Parties.
I'd definitely love to see an interview with him regarding property taxes!
Pops it’s a total different animal. Property taxes are based on the greed of local governments. Counties in the various states don’t print money and need money to grow their bloated system. Salaries and retirements get first money, if there’s any left the balance goes to buildings,supplies, roads and schools. The answer is to cross party lines vote for politicians promoting reduced expenses, efficiency and less payroll overhead. Basically counties operating like a private business.
Laffer is the GOLD standard. Love that you had him on!
@ 34 minutes -- Laffer's call for medical quality and pricing transparency is HUGE. If that were done, imagine how quickly healthcare would improve and healthcare inflation would fall! It is outrageous that providers commonly charge 10x more to uninsured than the price for in-network insured patients.
Yes! No more hiding behind thinly veiled scams
Yup transparency right after hospitals can deny service to those that don’t have coverage instead of having to serve them and then eat the cost of whatever they in the ER 100k bill? Sorry no speak English buy, healthcare is expensive because the next guideline he has coverage has to pay for both of them
I support the price transparency, but a lot of the price discrepancy comes from having to make up losses from gov payers and people who don't pay. Restaurants are very competitive, but there's no law requiring them to tell you the price upfront. The gov also limits the number of hospitals and the number of doctors, keeping prices up.
Keep in mind that most providers are simply employees that have nothing to do with the financial aspect of healthcare.
Since Obama care, we can’t even go to the doctor. We pay premiums for healthcare that pays almost nothing. We’re supposed to pay both ways? Who came up with this? Is this a savings club?
In light of the current economic trends indicating a potential downturn in the stock market and an impending recession, coupled with falling inflation rates, investors are advised to consider diversifying their portfolios. Exploring alternative assets such as gold and crypto trading would be a strategic move to hedge against the expected market volatility and inflationary pressures. This approach is crucial in navigating the complex financial landscape shaped by fluctuating Federal Reserve policies and the broader economic climate........Amidst this the insights of a knowledgeable guide like Kerrie Farrell can be crucial. Her expertise in navigating the nuances of cryptocurrency investments has been the key to understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends...managed to grow a nest egg of around 4 b,tc to a decent 21 b,tc in the space of a few months...
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable..
I appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the team behind Kerrie’s trade signal service...
I've just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage without sweat, very much appreciate this..
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.
The fact that i got to learn and earn from her program is everything to me think about it, it's a win win for both ways...
The author of trickle down economics still around. Wonder how many of your listeners remember this guy when he advised Reagan and supported the idea that “deficits don’t matter “ FYI that’s where it all started in the US. He’s always favored business profits over all else. He’s equated business profitability with a strong economy as if one were the same as the other. They’re not
Exactly. As if workers should just keep working in poverty so the GDP is high. The rich should have to pay at the same tax rates as everyone else. Additionally, research proves a people with less income inequality are happier and healthier even if they have a little less on the total GDP. Inequality literally raises stress hormones that cause physical conditions and untimely death.
The cognitive dissonance it takes for him to make some of these statements is staggering.
Honestly, a tax free zone in the inner cities?? Imagine the absolute swarm of corruption and racketeering that would descend on these people. I know that’s not necessarily different than the current situation but these are peoples lives he’s taking about and he seems so disconnected.
Yes, I have to say, this guy misses out so many important points. And I think that is why Adam took some quite sizable in breaths during the interview!
“Send each other birthday cards”. Send the Ayatollah a birthday card. I’m sure he’ll be converted. Is this why obiden keeps giving Iran billions? Has that worked?
@@standinginthegap7118 I voted for Ron Paul in '08 and '12. RP wanted to abolish the federal income tax. I recall paying $12k in taxes before and after my check on a $42k salary in the late 1990s. I don't believe I would have qualified as rich. If are not voting for anyone to abolish most taxes and cut government, you are the problem. Yeah, I was not too happy being a tax slave for 5 to 6 months out of the year which you voted for.
At present, the most prudent consideration for everyone should be diversifying their income sources, ones not reliant on government support, particularly given the ongoing global economic challenges. This remains an opportune moment to explore investments in assets like gold, silver, digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, thanks to Flora Elkin for her guidance in these fields her proficiency is outstanding
I've just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage without sweat, very much appreciate this
It's unexpected to come across her name here. She understands every beginner’s intention and fix you to a trading course that matches your capacity, she knows her stuff! Her advice has been invaluable to my trading journey. Definitely worth giving a shot!
It is really refreshing to see a comment about Flora Elkin.I have worked with her also for months now, reached out after reading more about her on the internet. she simplifies matters, whether it's a market surge or drop; her approach consistently keeps you ahead of the trend, She's a guru i'll say
Nice to see this here, Flora Elkin's understanding of market indicators is impressive. She knows exactly when to enter and exit trades for maximum profit. her siignals are top notch
Over the years, I've been a part of numerous trading programs, sifting through a barrage of information. Yet, nothing has come close to the sheer clarity, depth, and precision of Flora's insights. It's akin to finding a diamond in a coal mine.
I learned about the Laffer curve in school, and now here he is. On your show 🤯
Yes, please bring the Laffer back. Property taxes are a great topic
Mr. Laffer needs to expand his analysis to understand where an economy is developing its wealth. The US looked good but we stopped producing pharmaceuticals. We also became very dependent on China for manufactured products. Art's economics is a 30,000 foot view of the country, but what is going on underneath at the granular level is also important.
what a gem thanks Adam and Art and of course yes please have him back thanks
Yes, bring him back please.
I wish I had his optimism
Great episode. Please bring Dr. Laffer back for a discussion on property taxes. Cheers- from the most corrupt county in IL.
Australian accountant here specialising in taxation 25 years. Guest is 100% correct. Whose money can you keep if not your own? You cannot tax your way to prosperity. All you end up with is non compliance by everyone. Taxation is not a solution to wealth inequity.
Australia just introduced a tax on non realised gains for some high wealth individuals. This will work both ways. These taxpayers will now 40:05 be indefied by the gvt if the market crashes...
I would appreciate the opportunity to hear Dr. Laffer talk about property taxes. He understands economics and expresses himself very well. This interview is very much appreciated.
This was great! Yes! Bring Dr Laffer back. I'm interested to hear him speak on property taxes, too.
Please bring Dr. Laffer back!
I love how every time that there is any issue in the economy, business people start talking about the SAME solutions every time. Democrat or republican. De-regulation, open trade, free trade.
Do NOT buy the BS. Ever since these “let business do business” pundits have gotten their way, what has happened? Jobs exported to other countries, GOOD regulations(those there to protect people) removed while bad regulations (those that allow businesses to fuck you over) are retained or added.
This guy lost me the moment he said Regan. Regan did more to hurt the US economy than any president in history. The STOCK market benefited, the regular American suffered. Slowly but surely they killed the middle class.
Please invite Dr Art Laffer back. He has so much great knowledge to share
Really love this Man. He is spot on, and he knows the history!!
How refreshing to hear that Reagan optimism again. I know Adam's Bay Area audience likely hated this interview but it economic reality is important to lift people out of poverty.
PS, please bring him back soon on the subject he mentioned (property tax)
Why cut short this superb guest? He seemed eager to continue and had much more to educate us on... Next time soon, hopefully!
Yes, bring the doctor back to educate us on properly taxes.
This has been one of your best interviews, Dr Laffer is certainly a very interesting economist. Bring him back, property tax is a great subject.
Brilliant Conversation Adam , yes bring on Dr Art Laffer again , best interview i have heard all year
Dose anyone have a master plan that could rule out income tax again !!!! i do
I friggin love this guy. Simple. Makes sense. Makes everyone unhappy. Means it's good
I'm always interested in listening to Dr. Laffer. His views on taxes and economics makes a lot of sense to me.
We need more of Dr. Laffer. He is a gem and a ray of hope on getting the economy right.
Art Laffer is the best. Have him back early and often!
Please have Art back to talk about property taxes. I live in NJ; our property taxes are very high.
Keep bringing him back I wish the government would listen to this guy but too many politicians are afraid about losing that money 💰 they are getting right now
Absolutely want Dr. Laffer back to discuss property taxes.
Please bring him back, his input is refreshingly apolitical and he has a reason for what he says.
1. NEVER EVER skip any interview with the great Art Laffer
2. Art should send each viewer a bill for educating them
3. Living in a country with huge welfare/socialist govt policies, Art is 100 % correct - we now have the highest unemployment rate in the world
Hear hear Dr. Laffer! Spot on about " way too much" of all the bad things in the 5 kingdoms. "Too many cooks" syndrome is raging out of control.
Bring him back on this channel
Art Laffer is the economic kingstud
Bring him back!! I’d love to hear about property taxes
I had not heard him speak before. This is eye opening
Yes, please have dr lafferty back! He speaks with much needed common sence
I continue to be a fan of Dr. Laffer. Please host him on this program often. Thank you.
Dr Laffer is a legend. We need Dr Laffer's clarity to correct the insane trajectory of our clown world.
Wow, Adam. Dr. Laffer was a big get to have as a guest.
I enjoy seeing Art fairly regularly on Kudlow, but this longer format is even more of a treat.
Dr. Laffer is a true economist: First assume the "right transformative leader emerges." Then all his good ideas can fall into place. I'm not sure it's that easy.
I absolutely loved this and I’ve shared it on my social media in hopes that those, “Tax The Rich” kids in the back row will listen to it.
Yes to a show on property taxes
People in the town I moved to are starting to hate the people moving in and improving the houses because it’s pushing up their tax assessments. They are very poor there and can’t afford for their property taxes to go up.
You have to love Dr. Laffer, the first voice of optimism I have heard in ages. What a great mind.
Dr Laffer offers solutions, hope and common sense.Well done.
Because I respect and side with most of what Art believes and pushes, I’d like you to ask him a question about real estate next time. “How is institutional real estate companies, buyers, renters effecting the housing markets for the first time buyer? What common sense policy would make the market better for want to be home buyers….just to live in, not airBNB it. Thx
Yes, please bring Dr. Laffer back!
Let's have Dr. Laffer on the show on a regular basis !! I love him and Lance Roberts. They are my favs!!!!
We need big government? Hell no!
He is missing pieces!!!😳🙄
Say yes, and get yourself employed by big government for life, receiving fat salaries all the way by doing very little work.
Lol. 🙃🤣
Consider me to be a Dr. Laffer groupie. Can we please get him in front of the financial committees in Congress?
No thanks
Me too! 👍
Laffer must be one of the best economists out.
Please invite Dr. Laffer back. He is the best!
Yes, more Dr Laugher, this guys almost as awesome as you! Keep up the amazing work. I not only enjoy your shows, you seem like such a down to earth, intelligent, and compassionate person. We need a few more of people like you helping out the regular guy!
Would LOVE for Art to return on the property tax debacle. I feel he has the breadth to discuss a topic once a month.
Excellent interview. Can’t wait for round 2 with Dr. Laffer!
Dr. Laffer for President. He is a ray of hope.
Brilliant economist! People in government should listen to him.
Please bring back Dr. Laffler he knows what he speaks
Please do a property tax show. Dr Art we love you!
Brilliant. Art should be your weekly commentary and sideline Lance. So much experience. Have him back soon and frequently.
Please bring Dr. Laffer back for the property tax discussion
Please get Dr. Laffer back on the subject of property tax.
Laffer on property taxes, YES please.
Always enjoyed learning about Art Laffer in our Econ classes at Univ of Cincinnati back in the business college days.
Art Laffer is a truly amazing economist! A balanced non -partisan view of our country and the world where the true numbers and facts matter.
Absolutely wonderful! I would definitely choose you as emperor! 😊 Please come back soon!
Without a doubt. I'd love to hear the discussion on property taxes.
Would be a pleasure to see Dr. Laffer, come back.
Excellent episode. Possibly my favorite guest you've had thus far, surprisingly entertaining and charismatic man. You wouldn't expect that from an economist! Hopefully we see him as a guest again.
Of course, we would like to see him back on.He's a man of wisdom.
One of your best interviews in my opinion. Well done and great guest. Love Laffer
Please have Dr Laffer back on to talk about property taxes! I would love to hear his thoughts on this topic.
Please bring this guy back FAST!!
Come back! Very interesting interview and a contagious way of teaching. I can't wait to hear more from him.
Great interview! Brilliant guy.
Would love to hear from Dr Laffer on property tax.
Loved listening to Dr Laffer
Brilliant discussion, thank you for having him on
Adam, don’t listen to the naysayers. Every so often it’s good to hear this information. I agree that trade does improve personal and business relationships in the long run.
Yes, please have Art back.
please bring Dr Art Laffer back to discuss property taxes
Bring him back! He’s amazing!
Definitely have the Dr. Back
Yes, by all means, bring Dr. Laffer back!
Can't wait for the property tax show. As an MAI from the '70s I always contest my assessment with logic they haven't even thought of. My adjusted assessment this year is 25% lower than what I paid for the house 20 years ago. My tax bill after senior discount is $382.
Say what you will if you agree with his stances on economic policy (personally I agree with most but not all), but Laffer is a pleasure to listen to, and his optimism and energy just lighted up my day (and he is just a damn good entertainer). These are the breed of man that we need at the Fed and in Congress.
BRING HIM BACK! BRING HIM BACK! ✊🏽
Please have Dr. Laffer back... he is a wealth of information.
Adam, You can manage any guest with your interview style. You are the best.
would love to hear from Art again, thank you!
BRING HIM BACK!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Yes, definitely do the property tax show!
I like tax cuts, but if you cut taxes cut spending on the other side. All politicians do is cut taxes and borrow the money to cover the taxes that would’ve been paid.
That’s just dumb economics.
Because in so called "" Democracy "" you can mess things up. Ooo well someone else get elected there is No punishment for you making the mess.
100 percent bring him back. Art is the best.
Please bring Dr Laffer back, he is funny and it is such a valuable education to listen to him…good job interviewing him Adam!
Dr Laffer is my favorite guest. Please bring him back for another interview
Laffer is blunt. Says it as is. Awesome!!!
