LARRY KUDLOW: Big government socialism is a failure
Published On Sep 26, 2024, 5:19 PM
Larry Kudlow criticizes Vice President Kamala Harris's economic policies, which he characterizes as examples of 'big government socialism.' He argues that her plans, which include handouts and tax credits, will hurt the economy and undermine competition. According to Kudlow, the current administration's initiatives have not significantly improved manufacturing jobs or the economy, pointing out inflation and stagnant wage growth as issues. He suggests that a more capitalist approach, like the one advocated by Donald Trump, would be more beneficial for economic growth.

Positive
Given the current political climate and Kudlow's criticism of Harris's economic policies, sectors viewed as benefiting from lower government intervention (like corporate tax cuts) may see positive investor sentiment. Additionally, if there's a shift in administration towards more business-friendly policies, companies positioned in manufacturing and traditional sectors may gain traction.

Negative
Conversely, sectors heavily reliant on government incentives and subsidies, such as renewable energy and tech sectors focusing on government contracts, might face negative sentiment if policies promoting 'big government' are challenged. If public opinion turns against these policies, ETFs and companies in those spaces may struggle.
