– Globally competitive– Massive infrastructure needs / Misplaced stimulus?
• Latin America (second largest global trading partner)
– Abundant arable land and raw materials– Held back by government instability?
• European Union (largest global trading partner)

Key Measures of the US Economy
S&P 500 and S&P Corporate Earnings (EPS)
• Earnings growth in the last decade has outpaced growth in the S&P 500 index; resulting in a lower price to earnings ratio.
• Much of the growth in earnings is tied to the growth in the global economy.
• Stock market performance is a big driver of consumer confidence.

• Housing prices are recovering but remain nationwide about 20% below the 2006 peak
• Median Household income flat for 25 years – symptom or the cure?

• Housing - FHA / Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac
• Healthcare – Medicare / Medicaid / ACA
• Education – Student Loans
• Regulatory climate – Dodd-Frank / Sarbanes-Oxley / EPA / OSHA / NLRB
• Interest rates – ZIRP
• The companies and organizations and governments who reacted rationally to the “New Normal” are already the winners - if the financial system is sound and the capitalist system is allowed to work (compete!) we will continue to recover and grow.
How much of a role should the Federal Government play in the economy?

1. Tax Code Reform
• Cost of complexity / Uncertainty over rates
• Highest marginal corporate tax rates
• Special interest provisions (housing /charities / municipal bonds)
2. Regulatory Overhaul / Exit of Private Enterprises
• The regulatory burden and cost to our economy is significant and growing
• Government involvement in private enterprises is anti-competitive
• If the future of our economy is competing globally, we have to compete globally.
3. Fiscal Responsibility
• Do we have the political will to address spending / which by definition includes entitlements and defense
• Are we positioned to continue to compete globally unless we continue to invest in education and technology and infrastructure – thereby spurring growth
