We've made back a good 35 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: of that in three sessions at one seven, Mike, two 36 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: standard deviations of remain strength is a stick above here, 37 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: one forty seven nine six rounded up to We need 38 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: to get to a one to really show a massive 39 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: shifting trend. We're not there yet. Yeah, well, I would 40 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: warn you if we get to a one eight they're 41 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: coming for your company credit card while we're over here. 42 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: That's true, that would be true. We we've we we 43 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: are not helping you. The question is the day the 44 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: family or today read O Keeper MX. We're in trouble 45 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: both ways. Diane Swak is in Chicago. She's not over 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: here in London spending money. But hopefully she's stimulating the U. 47 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: S economy. Of course, she's the founder of DS Economics. 48 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: She joins us. Now, Uh, Diane, It's an interesting week 49 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: because we do get an early look at what Janet 50 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Yellen thinks. But we get this just a week after 51 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: she told us what she thought last after the FED vote. Um, 52 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: is there anything she can say that will satisfy anybody 53 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: about anything at this point? That's a good question, Mike. 54 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately, I think Janet Yellen is in a 55 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: painted herself into a very difficult corner at this moment 56 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: in time. Clearly, the Brexit vote did weigh heavily on 57 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: the FED, and uncertainties about what growth abroad meant weighed 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: heavily on the FED. But there's also a real credibility 59 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: issue going on. She had you know, we had Bullard 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: out last week's saying you know, he sort of put 61 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: his one one and done for the whole rate forecast 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: because he doesn't think the rate forecasts are very useful. 63 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: That rebellion um within the set to about the Dots. 64 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna dump the Dots campaign because I don't think 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: they're very useful anymore. I think they've lost their youth. 66 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: But I think that credibility issues one in an election 67 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: year where people's emotions are already high, it's going to 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: be tough for her on the hill this week. Yeah, 69 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: remembers of the Congress. I mean that if they want 70 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: to be rude, they can point out that the FED 71 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: has had a very hard time coming up with an 72 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: economic forecast. That's how they get on TV. Remember that 73 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: I was being polite abused. I know both sides of 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: the islands have been very rude to yelling when when 75 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: they when they are rude. We can hope the comedy 76 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: we're seeing, we're seeing a little bit better attitude here 77 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: in in the UK. Maybe that will transfer across the pond. 78 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: But when they get up there and ask her questions, uh, 79 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: and say why can't you ever get your forecast right? 80 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: What does she say? I think this is the time 81 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: where she needs to start saying, you know, they decede 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: needs to pivot from data dependence, which includes forecasts, and 83 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: say we're doing the best weekend. The world's an uncertain 84 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: place and at the end of the day, decide is 85 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: reacting the best they tend to incoming information. They're not 86 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: to be able to manage expectations. It's already been clear 87 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: they've been an able to manage market expectations because frankly, 88 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: the market has been better than the Federal Reserve at 89 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: predicting what the FED would do, and it brings in 90 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: an issue of credibility. It's not that necessarily the FED 91 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: is always wrong, although they have been consistently under forecasting 92 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: their ability to raise rates. And that's critical because when 93 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: you tell the markets and Congress that you think you're 94 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: going to raise rates and then you don't, it comes 95 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: back to haunt you. And I think the FED needs 96 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: to get away from what they had help would be 97 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: forward guidance, and I think that's a critical issue of 98 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: communications are not at their best right now anywhere, and 99 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: I think we've seen that the political environment around the 100 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: globe is heated and that's not productive. You need to 101 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: do is Ranching ranked things down a bit, ratt things 102 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: down a bit, and that includes what we expect of 103 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: the FED in terms of you know, they're not some 104 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: ivory tower and they don't have all the answers Diane. Um, 105 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: we're totally focused on those international political events here in London. 106 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm interested in what no one's expecting, which is a breakout. 107 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: I sound like Jim Morrison of the Doors break out 108 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: to the other side. The idea of the Atlanta GDP 109 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: index is something else breaking out of that two point 110 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: six two point seven percent range. Is that on your 111 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: radar that things can become simply more optimistic? I wish 112 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: it was right now, um, And boy would I love 113 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: to be wrong. And I think we're unfortunately caught in 114 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: about a two to two and a quarter percent. We're 115 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: going to snap back in the second quarter, but we've 116 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: got this really bad seasonal pattern that's gone on for 117 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: a long time, with the week first quarter then feeding 118 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: our fears of what the second quarter is gonna look back, 119 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: and it comes back in the second quarter and then 120 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: we slow down again. And I think the reality is 121 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: that we are dealing with an economy. You know, I 122 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: just wrote a piece saying it was no joy ride. 123 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm from Detroit, and you know what do I feel 124 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: about the economy. It's like it's like recovering after a 125 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 1: multi car crash. Our choris six are our wounds appealed, 126 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: but the trauma is still there. And that's global and scope, 127 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: and that's the part that we can policy. Our doctors 128 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: in Marhington haven't held much with that. Right.

The following is from Bloomberg View. 237 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: Opinions and commentary from Bloomberg columnists. I'm Paula Dwire, an 238 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: editor with Bloomberg View. Donald Trump says Muslim immigrants and 239 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: even their second and third generations, are unwilling or unable 240 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: to integrate into American society. The evidence for such a 241 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: sweeping statement is hard to come by. The US Census 242 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: Bureau is barred from asking about religious affiliation. Other surveys, however, 243 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: such as those done by the Pew Research Center, fill 244 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: in some of the blanks, and they tell us that 245 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: Trump is just playing wrong. Muslims arrive in the US 246 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: with higher education and income levels than other immigrant groups, 247 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: and are assimilating at about the same pace. Their integration 248 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: also happens faster in the US than in Europe. Those 249 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: surveys show in one important area, Muslim assimilation is exemplary, 250 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: a higher percentage become American citizens than other immigrant types 251 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: sev versus fifty. Not only is Trump wrong, his words 252 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: are dangerous if they encourage violence or discrimination, if employers 253 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: refused to hire Muslims, or if neighbors shunned them, he 254 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: may be slowing down the integration he so desires. Donald 255 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: Trump needn't worry that Muslims will be any more dangerous 256 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: to the US than his German born grandparents were more 257 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: than a century ago.

I'm Bloomberg Radio, Michael McKee and 262 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: Tom keenan London in Chicago, Diane Swunk DS Economics Diane. 263 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: In one or two or three conversations in these interviews 264 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: that we do you could hear little nuances the difference 265 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: between Europe and America. The Laureate Christopher Pisser Reades was 266 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: on today with huge value. He is asking his United 267 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: Kingdom to not leave the EU out with a letter 268 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: from ten economists today and support Prime Minister Cameron. But 269 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: in the discussion, Professor Proseridis made real clear that Eastern 270 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: Europeans do the help. In the United Kingdom, we don't 271 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: say that. In America. We have a different language, a 272 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: different discussion of our death stiles of income. How are 273 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: lower death stiles of income can do doing the bottom 274 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: descile a minimum wage and the group above them, well, 275 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: certainly they've not been doing well. And we have income 276 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: inequalities and lack of education in some areas within both 277 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: the US and Europe. That is part of where this 278 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: debate is coming from, and the frustration we're seeing sort 279 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: of correlation does not apply causality, but people want state scapegoats, 280 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: and they looked to their immigrant populations as a scapegoat 281 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: because they tend to be self chosen and more educated 282 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: income in and there is that tension there on the 283 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: lower end of the wage spectrum. What we are seeing 284 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: is there has been a movement up at the state 285 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: and local level. Minimum wages have finally hit a tipping 286 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: point in very large population areas, in very large population states, 287 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: and we've seen an acceleration in those wages UM at 288 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: the very lowest wrongs. That doesn't mean they're going moving 289 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: up rapidly enough to say pay for themselves. UM in 290 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: the ways that they'd like to live in a middle 291 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: class income style. That's not where they're going, but they 292 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: are moving up. What I worry about is the next wave, 293 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: which is structural in nature, and that will be um 294 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: what I'm likening to the restructuring and manufacturing, the restructuring 295 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: in retail, the move to the hybrid of bricks and clicks, 296 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: and to move away from bricks in general of the 297 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: real estate. In the retail sector, you're going to see 298 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people currently employed in retail lose their jobs. Now, 299 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: many people may correlate that with the higher minimum wage, 300 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: that is not really what's going on. We have a 301 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: secular change in retail that I think is very important 302 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: to watch going forward as well well what happens to 303 00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: the economy. I mean, we've seen this globalization angst develop 304 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: in the United States, UH in a great measure on 305 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: the back of the manufacturing job losses we've seen. Now 306 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: you start to add retail into that, then the American 307 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: people get where do they go from there? Well, it 308 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: is something that it really highlights the one issue that 309 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: economists keep getting back to, and that was the need 310 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: to invest in human capital. We did not educate people 311 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: in this country to take the jobs that they needed 312 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: to take. There's a huge mismatch on jobs out there. 313 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: We do not educate people to be employed in a 314 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: globalized economy, and we neglected our investment in human capital 315 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: and it shows, and I think that's where the issue lies. 316 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: What we often forget, though, is when the economy, when 317 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: we had labor markets that were so tight to unemployment, 318 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: fell so low our ability to innovate around skill shortages. 319 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: In the late when things like the fast food restaurants, 320 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: instead of just printing the name of what you had 321 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: to you were ordering, the people behind the counter could 322 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: push an icon, the ability to innovate around the skills levels. 323 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: They didn't even have to know English to take an order. 324 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: All they have to do is punch a picture of 325 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: something to take an order. That is what we've not 326 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: seen of late, and I think that's the next step 327 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: is not only do we need to invest in human 328 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: capital for the long term, in the short term or 329 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: one of the few countries in the world that has 330 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: shown a capability to actually innovate around people's own skill 331 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: shortages and keep them employed. And I think the ability 332 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: we all know how to use a smartphone now and 333 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter what income strategy or what educational level 334 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: you're in. And that gives us an opportunity to move 335 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: the next level without destroying all the jobs out there, 336 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: just creating new jobs in different areas with an ability 337 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: to innovate around the fact that they don't have maybe 338 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: all the skills that they once needed for those jobs. 339 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: On January January one, President Clinton or President Trump calls 340 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: you up and says, Diane, I need a chief Economic advisor, 341 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: somebody to run my Council of Economic Advisors, and I 342 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: want from you one thing we can do, one thing 343 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: we must do to break out of this uh new normal, 344 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: low growth path. What would you recommend? Well, there's no 345 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: one silver bullet, or we would have already shot at 346 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: the Fiscal policy has been neglected. Corporate tax reform low 347 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: hanging fruit, bipartisan support. Income tax reform also low hanging fruit, 348 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: needs to be done. We need to get through this, 349 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: but more importantly, we need to invest in infrastructure, and 350 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: to do it when interest rates are still low in 351 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: the United States. To come up with the fiscal plan, 352 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: We've already had them out there. They did hit bipartisan 353 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: plans to reduce the deficit over the long term. But 354 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: invest today, even infrastructure is simple as our roads and 355 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: our bridges, which let me tell you, even though the 356 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: cups are doing great in Chicago, the bridges are still 357 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: crumbling in Chicago, and the road still have a lot 358 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: of potholes in it. That undermines our productivity in this country. 359 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: So I think the first thing out is to think 360 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: about infrastructure investment and those reforms, and some of those reforms, 361 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: believe it or not, even in this stalemated Congress, can 362 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: be done. Where are we on credits for investment? I 363 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: guess it's an early sixties idea, Mike and made me 364 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: wrong on that, But doctors trunk, where are we on 365 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: stipulating or incentivizing investment beyond infrastructure? You know, that's where 366 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: the text code had gone. And it's one of the 367 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: reasons why we're uncompetitive now is because of all the 368 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: deductions we put in to stimulate investment. We had to 369 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: raise tax rates so that they're no longer competitive with 370 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: the global economy. And so I think one of the 371 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: things we do need to do, and we've seen businesses 372 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: sign on on this as well. The Business Roundtable in Washington, 373 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 1: John Angler who's head of that who I know they 374 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: are now behind this as well. Is eliminating and decomplicated, 375 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: taking the complications out of the text code and all 376 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: those specific incentives and making it cleaner so we make 377 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: economic decisions going forward without all the sort of special 378 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: Once you start putting those incentives in, Unfortunately, too many 379 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: special interest groups get involved and they become distorted incentives. 380 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 1: I think the other side of the game is what 381 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: we've seen in the individual tax structure. We do know 382 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: it's not bad to have lower capital gains tax rates. 383 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: It's not bad to have lower dividends tax rates. We 384 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: want that an investment. However, it is bad when people 385 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: aren't engaging in investment, or when returns are so low 386 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: that companies are buying back stock and issuing dividends to 387 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: satisfy people in their search and their reach for yield, 388 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: rather than investing in their own company. And I think 389 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: that's where we're at. Dance Mark, thank you so much, 390 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: greatly appreciate it. This morning from Chicago, will look at 391 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: the amair. It's nice, Mike to get away from brexit 392 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: remain for a bit. We should we shouldn't point out 393 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: that the Ricketts family did take advantage of low interest 394 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: rates to rebuild infrastructure. They rebuilt Wrigley Fielding in the 395 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: process of bringing it up to twenty century standards and 396 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: then they can work on in the shout out to 397 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: any of you worldwide that want to see a rebuild, 398 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: I would wander down Yawkey Way. Well they have done 399 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: what they have done to rebuild Fenway Parks got to 400 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: be the example for any sports stadium in the world 401 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: you like, you love to see. You know, the Red 402 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: Sox and the Cubs are the oldest stadiums in Major 403 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: League Baseball, and instead of replacing them, they have the 404 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: courage courage to do it. We are in London waxing 405 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: nostalgic on Major League Baseball, Michael McKee and I all week. 406 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy it.
