Economists have a message: Clinton's policies are wrong for America
On Monday, I joined with 305 economists from universities, think tanks and
businesses across the country to convey a message to the American people: "
Hillary Clinton's economic agenda is wrong for America."
Our statement, printed below in its entirety and signed by some of the
county's most prominent economic theorists and practitioners, bemoans how "
misguided federal policies have produced one of the slowest recoveries on
record." It warns that Clinton, the Democratic nominee, "promises to repeat
almost all of [President] Obama's policy mistakes" and her "outdated policy
prescriptions won't return our economy to the faster growth rates it once
enjoyed."
While Clinton offers more of the same, we suggest an alternative. "What
America needs, and what Americans deserve," says the statement, "is an
agenda of economic freedom: limited but effective government, policies that
rely on and strengthen markets, pro-growth tax reform, sensible federal
spending restraint, regulatory relief, sound money, and freedom to trade."
According to a report published jointly years ago by more than 70 think
tanks around the world, the United States was the world's sixth most
economically free country in 2008. Since then, America's commitment to
economic freedom has eroded in both absolute and relative terms. An update
to the report, released earlier this month, finds that the U.S. now ranks as
the 16th most free — behind Lithuania and the United Arab Emirates.
Very disappointing.
The bottom line? With the economy barely growing 2 percent annually and with
federal spending, taxes and deficits all projected to rise in the coming
decade, we cannot afford to continue for another four years with policies
that simply don't work.
Our message is unequivocal. Economic freedom is the key to American
prosperity. Hillary Clinton's economic agenda is wrong for America.
Statement by economists concerned by Hillary Clinton's economic agenda
The outcome of this year's presidential election will influence the U.S.
economy for years to come. Should Hillary Clinton win that election, her
outdated policy prescriptions won't return our economy to the faster growth
rates it once enjoyed. And without more economic growth, her agenda won't
result in more jobs or a higher national standard of living. Hillary Clinton
's economic agenda is wrong for America.
The U.S. economy is underperforming. Misguided federal policies have
produced one of the slowest recoveries on record. Since early 2009, the
economy has grown at an average annual rate of 2 percent. It could and
should be growing 3 to 4 percent.
Hillary Clinton promises to repeat almost all of Obama's policy mistakes.
She wants yet another massive debt-financed public works program; she wants
to raise tax rates on investment and incomes to nearly 50 percent; she wants
to raise the federal minimum wage to at least $12 an hour and supports
state and local efforts to hike theirs; she wants to stall America's
development of fossil fuels; she wants to continue the Obama administration'
s regulatory assault on business and entrepreneurship; and she wants to
double down on ObamaCare.
What America needs, and what Americans deserve, is an agenda of economic
freedom: limited but effective government, policies that rely on and
strengthen markets, pro-growth tax reform, sensible federal spending
restraint, regulatory relief, sound money, and freedom to trade. These
things are necessary if we are to revive American prosperity.
For these reasons and more, the undersigned urge everyone concerned about
threats to American prosperity to reject Hillary Clinton's ill-advised
economic agenda.
