What If Obama Defended American Business? 


By Larry Kudlow, Jul. 25, 2014, Natinalreview.com

Just for once, wouldn’t it be great if President Obama actually defended American business, instead of attacking it?

Just once?

Wouldn’t it be great if Obama acknowledged that U.S. firms are overburdened by the highest corporate tax rate among developed countries, and as a result are becoming less and less competitive?

Wouldn’t it be great if he said he wants to fix this tax imbalance in order to grow the economy faster and give U.S. businesses a leg up on the global scene?

Couldn’t he just say that?

He could say it like this: “Look, I don’t want to drive businesses away. I want to keep businesses here. I understand the importance of business. I understand that you can’t have a good job without a thriving business. And I get that businesses require capital investment. And I understand that the investment and the business must have a high rate of return, after-tax. When that’s the case, the company expands, jobs grow, and families have more income to pay for health care, education, and the good life.”

Larry Kudlow, as usual, said it best. Writing in Investor's Business Daily on September 14, he said:
About 30 years ago, Paul Volcker launched a monumental monetary effort to bring down inflation. As Fed Chairman, he sold bonds, removed cash from the economy, and cared not one whit about rising interest rates.
 And it worked. Gold plunged. King Dollar soared, and the drop-off in bank reserves and money extinguished high inflation -- and actually launched a multi-decade period of very high inflation."


This week, current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke embarked on an absolute reversal of Volcker's policy. He is launching a monumental effort to buy bonds and inject new money into the economy in order to reignite economic growth and job creation.
 
It is like history repeating itself, but in reverse. Gold is soaring, the dollar is falling. Something's wrong with this picture.

None of the network evening news casts have yet mentioned President Obama’s delay of the individual mandate for anyone claiming "hardship," which reportedly would exempt millions from having to purchase health insurance for two more years.  

As insurance industry expert Bob Laszewski put it to CNBC’s Larry Kudlow on Thursday, Obama “essentially said if you find health insurance unaffordable, you're not going to be mandated to buy it.” And as the Wall Street Journal reported last week, ObamaCare’s newest mandate delay allows for just that.
“Now all you need to do is fill out a form attesting that your plan was cancelled and that you ‘believe that the plan options available in the [ObamaCare] Marketplace in your area are more expensive than your cancelled health insurance policy’ or ‘you consider other available policies unaffordable’.”
Yet the network evening news casts have failed to report this momentous new delay that would exempt millions more from having to purchase health insurance, further affecting ObamaCare’s insurance pool.
Also not mentioned was a new delay for those reporting a "hardship in obtaining insurance" where documentation for proof was optional.

Below is a transcript of the segment, which aired on CNBC's The Kudlow Report on Thursday, March 20: ...
