U.S. election year political rhetoric has already hit high gear,
but we’re sure the best (worst?) is yet to come. And you can
bet tinkering with the economy is going to be a major part of the
conversation - probably more so than any time since 1992 and Bill
Clinton’s now famous slogan, “It’s the economy,
stupid.”
As real estate investors, we care deeply about things like the
supply and cost of capital, job creation and tax rates. And
while we can’t control what happens, we sure want to anticipate it
- especially if big changes are being proposed. End the
Fed? Return to a gold standard? Raise taxes on capital
gains? Eliminate the mortgage deduction? Lions, tigers
and bears? Oh my!
What’s an investor to do? Well, start by paying attention to
people who are paying attention. To help you, we traveled to
the Las Vegas Money Show to sit down face to face with our good
friend, economist and outspoken political opiner, Dr. Mark
Skousen.
As the founder of Freedom Fest, Mark Skousen is one of most
connected and intellectually honest people we know. Every
time we sit with Mark, we learn and we’re sure you will too.
So tune in and find out what Dr. Skousen sees for the economy and
economic policy as the United States enters one of the more
interesting election years in recent history.
