the data that we use in modeling microeconomics, the u.s. economy rely very heavily on statistical series that are u.s.ced by our main statistical agencies, the bureau of labor statistics, bureau of economic analysis, and there are good reasons for that. first of all, these agencies were organized and set up to focus on data to meet these needs of the fed and other users, that is their goal, that is there so focus, the data -- sole focus, the data they produce they make available in a timely way. they try to ensure consistency and standardization over longer estimated time and time series relationships, it is often important to have data produced on a mythological -- methodological consistent basis. and the economic statistical agencies have used theory heavily to decide how to go about measuring. and i believe strongly that good measurement requires underlying ,heory, for example, the work pricesce is produced -- produce, the cost of living, they have been driven by theory. the national incoming data that simon -- won a nobel prize for developing t

the economy is performing at about the same level. nothing that would suggest the economy has reversed course or gained steam. why say anything different? she didn'tiking is go out there and make any hawkish predictions but we are seeing a hawkish move in the bond market. yields are going up. some short-term traders feel whether she has put a floor under the idea of interest rate hikes. there is something going on there that i did not anticipate. >> part of that has to do with the 3% number. she signaled 3% as the neutral rate. that is higher than what some people believe. yesterday's move was excessive. we have some strong inflation numbers this morning. overi was just looking at 2.41 after a strong reversal. one of the big questions everyone wants to know, they tried to pry it out of her, janet yellen is too smart to give away too many cards. she said she and trump share a common interest in the success of the u.s. economy. what is your protection for the dynamic between them? administrations have not typically intervene much. trump

today, the economy is growing again. wages, home values, and retirement account are all rising, poverty is falling again. [applause] the wealthy are paying a fair share of taxes, even as the stock market shatters records. the unemployment rate is near a 10-year low. host: dan griswold, how do you respond when you hear the president say that about his record? guest: it may disappoint people on both sides but i think his economic record has been pretty mediocre. not remarkable but not the failure that his critics contend. under this president, growth in real domestic product has averaged 2.1%, that is subpar. in the postwar era, among recent presidents, it's been about 3%. under president reagan and president clinton, growth was more like 4%. most important economic indicator, it determines how many jobs are created in the economy, living standards. the president did inherit a steep recession and we did have a seven-year recovery, he iterves credit for that, but has been a pretty tepid recovery by historical standards. spen

parts of the new economy are still booming. f confrontation with donald trump on trade, and ironically it could well be that if he manages to growth -- boost growth in the u.s. economy that china would benefit from that. kevin, ok, out of the people you have been talking to, what is the balance of opinion about the bulls, bears, and the outlook for the economy in the year ahead? a i think it looks like fairly stable year, and because of the communist party congress, the government is not willing to tolerate growth much below 6.5%, maybe a little bit, but it is mindful of the buildup of that and external risks from confrontation with trump. it is also not likely to provide to much stimulus. stability is the keyword here. that is paramount for 2017. rishaad: thank you very much indeed for that, kevin hamlin there. right, what we have on the way out of bloomberg markets: asia, david updates you, as well as shery. shery: the conversation on china and the chinese yuan at new lows. to theing strengthened most, but what does that mean

the potentials for bubbles in the economy. me, the drawback for all of that is that it is not a very secure economy. it is a very scary economy for people who are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing -- working, saving, putting money away for their kids' college education. there is not a lot of security. when i look at our budget, i think one of the things we need to be doing is building a federal government that is able to deal with the challenges of this economy. we have a federal government that is built for the challenges of the economy decades ago. the president had a budget where he recommended an idea for wage insurance. i don't know if that is a good or bad idea, i thought it sounded interesting, but we did not have a national discussion on it. we don't have any resources. we have allocated all our resources already. most of the budget is preallocated to social security and medicare is pre-committed. we have very little flexibility. i am worried that our budget is short-term focused, that we don't invest en

i think we need to distinguish between what is the emerging market economy and the advanced economy where there is clearly crisis. francine: can we really say that the world is in a crisis? pier carlo padoan: there are many ways you can define a crisis. i would say it's politics. i am thinking about advanced countries, but also about europe where you can hardly find a country where according to the polls or recent election results there is dissatisfaction with what is going on for some time. i think christine made it very clear, it's about objective change in wealth and income distribution. increasingly so, it's about expectations. the middle classes disillusioned about the future. it is disappointed about the job prospects for their kids and the security they can get out of the welfare system that may become unsustainable. it is expressing this disillusionment in terms of saying no to whatever the policy leaders suggest. we all know very well it's much more difficult to hold up a solution that is to say no. no is dominating the political landscape. it calls for a rethinking of what leade

government spending is not a stimulus to the economy. there are a lot of economists who believe the more the government spends, the better the economy works. i think the evidence is on my side that won you cut the fat and the waste and inefficiency in the government, the economy performs better. reference to that was the late bill clinton years when you had a republican in congress and democrat in the white house, and you had very substantial cuts in government spending and the economy did very well. i was making the point if we deficitt the budget down and get the taxes and the spending down, i think it would be a very positive thing for the u.s. economy. the: last time you are on program, you were an economic advisor for the trump campaign. do you still work with the trump i havetration? guest: not taken a role to time still getting used to calling it the trump administration. i am just a private citizen right now working at the heritage foundation. i talk regularly with people who have gone into the white house. a great team and i am e

but as caroline said, the economy has to wipe everyone, those at the top —— said, the economy has tod at the bottom. when you are talking about the impact on the economy, you have to take care of business, yes, that wants to have free movement, but you also need to think about people whose wages are being undercut, about housing, public services and so on. if it was necessary for the economy to have more immigration rather than less, you would favour that? yes, but only do if you do the corresponding thing, to make sure that migrant labour cannot be exploited and that people's wages are not undercut and that you do all the things to ameliorate the impact on people lower down the economic scale so that free movement isn't something that is just benefiting people at the top but not benefiting people at the bottom who feel that migrant labour is being exploited, that they don't have homes and access to schools and hospitals and so on. the economy has to work for everyone, which is why the stuff about wages fits completely in with this policy. it can'tjust be about brexit but about what

i have said i think donald trump has done more for the u.s. economy in his first 48 hours in office than barack obama did in eight years in office. these executive orders -- you were just talking about some of them -- the keystone pipeline, these are very positive things for the u.s. economy. they will bring jobs. more importantly, one thing i discovered being on the campaign trail, if you go to places like silicon valley or here in washington, d.c. or wall street, people are doing really well. but you go to places like york, pennsylvania, rockford, illinois, flint, michigan, those places have not seen a recovery. i think trump can be successful as a president and be reelected if he brings. . prosperity. to all these places, not just silicon valley and wall street. john: steve moore with us for the next half hour or so. numbers are on your screen to call. going back to the hills report -- the $10 trillion cut over the next 10 years, it is based largely on the heritage foundation budget plan that has been released. obviously, you work at the heritage f

it means how the budget lays with the overall economy. ything that affects the government spending revenues and the spending of the government. when we had the huge economic recession of 2008, our share of the economy debt was 38% of gdp. whether you liked the stiumuls or hate the stimulus, that meant the government had to tools, monetary policy or fiscal policy. it could do a lot to gin up the economy when we were heading into a very deep recession. our debt, now, relative to the economy is twice as high. it is twice as high historically. if and when we going into the next recession, quantity normal length of business cycles, we are likely to be closer to the next downturn. we don't have the same fiscal firepower ready because our debt is a much higher. that means that borrowing will be more difficult to do. we are more vulnerable to how dependent we are in borrowing. because interest rates have been so low for so long, our monetary policy, you have to be blathered were saying that we should be even more. to me, that is like a credit card

the world is changing and economies are dynamic. i know you are working to that now but what do you see happening in the global economy that now we should be thinking about looking forward here assuming we have future allowance. >> i think one of the issues that we are quite innovative around with the economy and i think you heard from victoria about this this morning but that is, it is a new issue that is a cutting-edge issue and it's only going to grow in importance as data flows and grows exponentially. this isn't just an issue for internet companies are technology companies. every manufacturing company in most services companies are increasingly dependent on flows of data and the free flow of data across borders. establishing rules that allow it is critically important around the digital economy. i think we are having in interesting conversation with the wcl after we have gotten out of our dough hot cold is back called a sack about issues like e-commerce and the digital economy are certainly among those. i think that's critically

all kind of potential for bubbles in the economy to me, the broad le sop of that that it's not a very secure -- it's a very scare economy, for people doing what they're supposed to be doing. working, saving, trying to put money away for their kid's college education. there's not a lot of security. and when i look at our budget, i actually think one of the things we need to be doing is building a federal dpovt that's able to deal with with a new challenges of this economy. we have a federal government that's built for the challenges of the economy decades ago. right now, we have a lot of people, the president had a budget where he recommended an idea for wage insurance. we don't even have a national discussion on it, but one reason is we don't have any resources. we've allocated them to already. most of the budget is pre preallocated to social security. we have little flex bable thety, so i'm worry ied that our budges short-term focus. i'm worried we don't invest enough and have enough flexibility, so when there's opportunities or challenges, our budget can react. it feels like it's ce

i think you look for in balances in the economy. r tax cuts for corporations, will be enough to bring offshore back to the us? i do think one thing with certainty, thinking about the economy over the next year and several years, we will start with what we know for sure. we know for sure that the republican congress with the president will introduce significant tax cuts, personal tax cuts and corporate and business tax cuts, and there will be a need given the tax cuts to make sure that there are not large differentials between various forms of business taxes like pass through taxes for corporations, and corporate tax, so all these rates will come down. the president has proposed a very aggressive cut in corporate tax to 15%. businesses have been looking for rates in the mid—20s, so 15% is a very low rate. one thingi mid—20s, so 15% is a very low rate. one thing i would say about all of this is that there really is a tremendous reduction in the source of revenue for the government, and that then is associated with lots of cuts in vario

, we had a very closed economy during the last5 years -- i think that marginalould be because we are still opening up our economy. we will have to see. but definitely what we're seeing is the possibility of some movement towards a little more protectionist u.s. argentina was one of a number of companies -- countries that decided to go to the bond market before the inauguration. you weren't alone. can i ask what you're thinking was? why did you feel you need it to get this in before the an operation happened? basically, we adopted a conservative stance. we still don't know the policies the u.s. is going to implement. we decided to take advantage of the ample liquidity that still is in the market. argentina decided to complete most of its financial problem that is going to be done in this early part of the year. so just to be conservative. guy: ok. you've gone 7%, 6%. do you think we're going to see a further compression of borrowing costs for argentina? what is the direction of travel. you've still got to raise some dollar-denomina

if the economy, if the u.s. economy saw the history and had grown at today's growth rate, we would not, today, have the per capita income of the strongest country in the world with the major economic force in the world. relate have it similar to new guinea, so growth matters and it is a big deal. and we can the fact, buy legislation give the federal theire direction about mandate, with employments, and with price stability, but maybe we also should have instructions for the fed that says you cannot just have a system in which liquidity goes to large companies because frankly what we have seen since the financial crisis is the large corporations, they have been in the position where low interest rates have been a bonanza and they buy back their own stock, and now, corporate dad is going through the roof. i am not necessarily -- i do not concentrate on populist, anticorporate jargon, but during this time, the community and regional banks, and workhorses for this month economy, have been financially suffocated and i

for the digital economy t because they're completely dependent upon the digital economy using the of leadership to support its leadership and services. >> when it comes to trade it is fairly easy to deal with the problems by cutting tariffs by increasing trade. is sent as easy to get services integration. whether the main problems and what needs to be done to address complex. >> again the digital economy to move your data and store your data it does not make sense to holding it and any jurisdiction with regulatory issues saw huge. is pretty obvious in the case of financial services but if you think of express delivery what are the rules under which those companiesth operate in a place like china? they are very restrictive with the rules keep changing so those sorts of things that we take for granted in terms of transparency or rulemaking but they apply to a domestic operator that u.s. companies are competing with different rules. i would say the it digital issues are across the board with two of the highest priority is looking forward. >> now we have the next two panel but victoria a
