tv   Varney Company  FOX Business  September 8, 2014 11:00am-1:01pm EDT

11:00 am
with us on fox business, "varney & company" starts right now. stuart: young people have chalked the credit card habit. now there is a switch. the morning, everyone. six out of 10 twentysomethings don't have a credit card. just when you thought everybody was buying anything on credit, turns out youngsters are going the other way. they still use plastic but it is debit, not credit. it makes good financial sense to not use financial debt but you need a credit score to buy a house and it helps the economy if they borrow and buy. yet again millennials have influence way beyond their numbers, they set transit food, entertainment, technology and now personal finance. i think this is good for america, how about you?
11:01 am
monday morning, let's get into the bank rate study be at 50%, those one eels 18-29 don't have a credit card. by comparison 35% of people older than 30 don't have a credit card. i want to look on the good side of this for a second, i think that is a positive for america mamaybe thrift is back, maybe te idea you borrow a ton of money and spend it crazily is out. i think that is a good thing, don't you? charles: that is a good thing with limits. if everybody were to buckle down and not spend money, we wouldn't have any advertising advertising on the show. i will tell you though this is not just the millennials, america took a huge shot.
11:02 am
july 2008 the outstanding credit cards over a trillion dollars. right now 873 alien so we're still almost 200 billion away from the peak. a lot of people go and spend debit. they will spend every nic nickel they have on debit. if you go too long without establishing credit history, one day you want to buy a house or a car and found out i have money in the bank, but you have no credit history. stuart: nice to have thrift making a comeback. spend what you have got, i like that. charles: we don't want before where people spend willy-nilly. everybody was a millionaire on paper, so why not spend it. stuart: short term not good for retailers that long-term if everybody has a more solid credit background you can go back to the credit card.
11:03 am
charles: and wait until you have 20% to buy a house. stuart: kind of out of the box on this because i think that is a very interesting trend, millennials have an outside influence on our entire financial culture. >> they are the biggest group now and will leave the country from here on out. stuart: charles payne approves of our lead story. check the big board, where are we? we are still very close record territory down 20 points. pretty much the same story for the s&p 500, 2003 is where we are there. the count is clearly lagging. harvard has the answer. the business climate in the u.s. is good for companies but not for workers. chief economist at the heritage foundation joining us from d.c.
11:04 am
i looked at this harvard story, businesses in america are very well managed, spirit is alive and well and the financial system is very efficient. then they come out with problems with education and all the rest of it. how do you read this study? >> you look at american companies today, we know what got us into this bubble in the first place was american companies and households and governments overleveraged. american companies today are the best run companies in the world, stuart. that is not something would have said 10, 20 years ago. they are profitable, that is why the stock market is up. american workers not so much. 30 or so percent of americans labor force is not geared for the kind of jobs that are available.
11:05 am
i wrote a piece for foxnews.com, there are about 2 million jobs that can be pulled tomorrow if american workers had the ability to fill them. high schools are to blame because of the basic skills you need to. they want people of basic skills, if you don't know any basic engineering, hard for you to be hired. we have hundreds of thousands of kids every few years graduating with sociology degrees, ethnically degrees, they are not worth the paper they're printed on, they are not preparing for anything employers need in the 21st century economy. stuart: the other thing was the corporate tax mess. if the republicans do indeed sweep the senate, if that happens in november 2 you think
11:06 am
we will get serious tax reform, presented to the president? >> i think there is a good chance of it. showing no inclination to reform the tax system even though he has had to go commissions himself telling him for years you have to do something about the corporate tax system making america in efficient and competitiv competitive. show me one sign this president has any inclination to do tax reform. i haven't seen it. stuart: try this, if we did get tax reform and if the president signed it, that would be giving the candidate the white house. real tax reform would create solid growth of this economy and that would create jobs and going into 2016 saying we did it, look
11:07 am
what we did. hillary clinton in the white house. >> the problem is they don't believe in the agenda, in other words they don't believe this will create jobs and growth. their antenna doesn't pick up this message so it is very unlikely. iin the economic and political self-interest to get something done to get the american economy out of second gear into third gear. the republicans interesting thing as republicans all of them talking about running for president come out with innovative tax reforms, but i bet you you aad i could sit down in 15 minutes and we could grab the tax code and make much more sense than what we have right now. stuart: you don't think it will get past the president's desk is what happens. >> show me where he has ever made is kind of compromises. it would be his benefit, this would be a legacy.
11:08 am
barack obama, do this, it is in your own interest. stuart: how long before the middle-class expands again, middle-class prosperity returns, how long? years from now? what is it? >> if you have the styles and corporate tax reform, the necessary changes to reform, these are not huge things. this economy, american economy is ready to burst out, it really is. the corporate profits, the fact sitting on $2 trillion of capital, you get that reinjected with things like tax reform you can see a boom affecting the middle-class like in the 1980s and 1990s did. stuart: we live in hope. see you again soon. buying ge appliance business.
11:09 am
pay more than $3 billion for it. it is a giant conglomerate of course of $0.12. shares look like a bargain right now. writing that story and produced a 2% gain for boeing. netflix turning on the charm in france expanding in europe. concerned netflix presence will do cultural damage, but the stock is up $4. general motors on a driverless cadillac may be ready by 2016. not sure it would get on the road. microsoft touching a new high, $46.80 earlier today. you could have seen that coming. let's talk alibaba. we call them the chinese amazon going public, yahoo owns a nice
11:10 am
chunk of alibaba and the stock is going up. nicole: the own 22.4% stake in alibaba. up 4 weeks in a row, up 3% today as on friday talking about what we know about alibaba so far. it will trade at barclays behind this, pricing 18th, so we will be watching for that one. the stock is up 3% per yahoo and one of the largest ipos in history. now we should note yahoo plans to reduce stake from 22.4% down to about 16.3%, however this really has been a shining part. stuart: thanks very much. take a look at a stock, i
11:11 am
have to ask charles what do you like, amazon or alibaba? they are both going to be worth the same amount of money in total about $160 billion. charles: if somebody can get the initial public offering, the ipo, you take it. does the first day trading u up 50%, th does it traded 100% higher? the next two weeks i went to focus on it to a better handle on whether or not people should chase it. the ipo is a no-brainer. stuart: a very slim minority of people. it is a largest ipo in history so they can be more of a floating around than normal. stuart: you really don't care that much, would you buy the ipo as soon as he could and chase it and see what happens? >> if somebody was inclined to do that, i would not talk them
11:12 am
out of it. stuart: "i would not talk them out of it." but you would not talk them into it? >> not yet. facebook is very dangerous trying to play the ipo trading game if you don't know what you're doing. imagine how may people bought it and are now kicking themselves because they look at it more as an investment. stuart: you are asking about alibaba and yahoo. >> don't wait for the ipo rally. stuart: now you tell me, could have really promoted that. 6:00 tonight, we will be there. another round of drone strikes keeping the high value out of the hands of a terrorist.

12:35 pm
take executive action to grant amnesty to any individuals, to any immigrant group before the november elections. what happens after that's another story. herman cain is with us. herman, i say that is flat out politics. he knows that he would lose the senate if he goes ahead with amnesty for four or five million illegals. what do you say? >> i agree with you, stuart, absolutely. positively, affirmatively. he didn't worry about the american people understanding it when he made that threat earlier. what has happened is his democrat, his democrat colleague ares that are running for office have basically said, mr. president, please hold up because, one, it's going to infuriate conservatives, it's going to infuriate independents and people who are not diehard republican or democrat, and it's also going to infuriate some of his own supporters like unions. see, the unions see this as taking away jobs from some of the union workers. so he was really going to basically turn off both sides of
12:36 pm
the aisle if he were to do this. so now he tries to put it in the posture of he wants the american people to really understand what he's doing. we know what he's doing. he's playing politics. stuart: but a if he delays until after the election, he still hasn't pleased anybody. he's infuriated hispanics because he's done nothing now, and everybody knows that after the election he is going to do what he was going to do before the election, so that hostility survives. i think he's painted himself into a corner on this issue -- >> yes. stuart: maybe it's possible that the immigration issue is no longer a plus for democrats, it is a plus for republicans. is that possible? >> i think that is possible. and i happen to think that even after the election let's make the assumption, and i'm hopefully, i'm cautiously optimistic that republican-controlled house in the senate, he may not go ahead with that because then you have a republican-controlled house, a
12:37 pm
republican-controlled senate that if he were to do something that gets outside the bounds of his authority, they could challenge him on that. so he may just let that sleeping dog lie after the election since he didn't do it before the election. stuart: what do you think it would mean for america, the economy and the markets, if the republicans did, indeed, sweep in november? what do you think would happen? >> i think, first, it would help to stabilize the economy. because i believe that the house would pass a fiscal year budget. they haven't done it in 18 years. and the senate would confirm it, and we'd send it to the president. it would help to bring some confidence that maybe some of this uncertainty in the economy is going to settle down. i think that would be good for the economy, and it would provide some business people some confidence, and it would also provide some confidence to those who choose to take risk and invest in the stock market. i think it would be an overall
12:38 pm
plus because at least now you have both houses of congress in a position to be able to slow down this administration with some of its very liberal socialist policies. stuart: but wouldn't it open the door to a democrat to walk into the white house in 2016 on the back of a nicely improving economy? take the credit for the improving economy, take the credit for more jobs and growth and say look what i did for you, put me in the white house. that's hillary clinton's ticket to the oval office, isn't it? >> i don't think so. i think that if republicans maintain control of the house, get control of the senate, i think that would help the potential republican candidate because you have people like hillary clinton out there saying climate change is the most important thing that we ought to be worried about. no, it's not. people are waking up to what the real issues are, and i don't think that they're going to give democrats credit, because while democrats control the senate and you had a democrat

[laughter] >> i don't think i could run it any better than tim cook, and

here's why: apple has a history of rolling out new products before the existing products become obsolete. i just bought an iphone 5 a year ago. now they've got another version. they got a new one coming out. they have consistently tried to stay ahead of the technology curve, and they've tried to consistently stay ahead of the consumer. i don't think i could do any better than what he's doing with that company right now. they are very successful. stuart: you always do so well when i chuck you these curves at the end. you're so good, herman cain. and what a pleasure to have you on. >> i love, i love those curveballs, stuart. i look forward to them.
