it look at what is going on in retail. right now we have a pretty healthy economy, but all these retail is a pretty -- all these other ones are struggling. if you look at what is coming over the next five to seven years, there is an explosion coming. at a time when overall debt is exporting as well so what is likely to happen, credit markets are likely to tighten. chart showing some these stores and their extraordinary debt levels. one of the types of companies >>t are under stress here?

that is the central issue here because a country that has traditionally run large surpluses because of the price of oil, all of a sudden is having to tighten its belt and running substantial physical deficits and they have to transform the economy so that is not the case going forward. a contrast between the ruling family and the people of the country. so how saudi arabia goes determines how the gcc country goes. >> the impacts on the rest of the region. there also fighting a war in yemen. certainly dependent

tomorrow. let's get some insight -- inside. he joins us from cambridge, massachusetts. great to have you with us. i know it is difficult to assess what is going on because things are changing all the time. how do you assess the package put together. >> i think corporate tax reform absolutely could expand economic growth and could benefit workers. but a key test for that is whether or not it adds to the deficit. if it adds to the deficit, you will call back a lot of benefits back over-- crawl

time. >> it is above the deficit. if you were to look at it in isolation, you do think it could be found that tax cuts would trickle down. -- that mean we could to tax high income , there are a number of sensible tax plans. what this bill in the house says is cut taxes for high income individuals and the only tax increases are has are for the most part on the middle class.

>> people have been warning about the deficit for a long time. it doesn't ever seem to come to fruition. never any pushback. why is that? done at of all, we have number of things about the deficit. race tax rates on high income households. we did the budget control act which cut discretionary spending. we have passed a lot of legislation that cuts spending and raises taxes and i think that is part of why you have not seen that sensitivity. if we went eight years and only we did was legislation like this, i think that would start

to happen of -- have an effect. a wall design personal tax cut. does that exists in boulder look like? >> i think there's much less growth potential. -- the mortgage interest deduction. that is a pretty courageous step of the house and i agree with them on that. i don't think you get a whole lot of growth that is individual tax reform. they are not really cutting rates. it actually raises marginal rates on a lot of households. >> it is something the trump administration has been talking about.

what's taxes -- there are four important. i remember at the beginning of the trump administration infrastructure spending. , is there a point tothe economic cycle stimulate growth? >> there is a supply side, i don't think there's much of a demand side. if we try to do more stimulus, they would just do it with faster rate hikes. the reason you want infrastructure is what it does to the productive capacity of our economy going forward and i think there's a strong case for we have it is a shame

major progress. -- an i understand it will actually be stimulative ultimately. >> and sound like some crazy radical. the particular notion is the one that over 220 -- this is aplus -- law.w that after a current the senateappened is

cash weeks, i think that has been broken down the bid. europe stands out for being a really robust economy. we're moving some of that extraordinary stimulus. it -- it really is. >> they are taking a lot of different approaches to monetary policy. bank is likelyal

to do more. surprised at the hungarian central bank. dangerous going three or 4%. i believe the czech national bank has high twice. they realize they are not doing well, and wise and they need to remove some of the stimulus. somenk there is disinvestment. >> i love getting the notes that they let me do things ahead like czech republic industrial output come up reported retail sales. nobody i get notes from our updating me with that. i really appreciate that. i encourage everyone to get on here. politicsoes individual or the monetary policy diverge

actually matter, particularly when the central bank is tapering? >> it is interesting to find that tipping point. i would say look at turkey right now. they have 12% inflation and yet hikes.fuse rate i think the turkish is one of the worst performing currencies. at some point, investors will say this is not the right policy. now, if the numbers continue to get strong, you might reset. turkey is certainly an outlier. >> big picture, one of the interesting things we're seeing. we have seen this oil strength slightly and dollar strength amid the oil strength which raises the question is the digitalf what we call

currency stale question mark over you -- using all categories that don't fit in the post shelf landscape question mark >> i think one thing to keep in mind is that these correlations change. see quite easily they fluctuate between zero and one and even negative territory. it is like they work until they don't. think the commodity story is interesting. it is around the $50 range. part of it is political and part of the is supply. i think the dollar rally around this is on track. banke the only central that is tightening by any consequence and i think that stands out. thank you for that.
