Bloombergs payment and regional banks reporter. Thank you. Now to tax reform. Not just a focal point for lawmakers, a common theme for economists and Monetary PolicyMichael Mckeen joining us from the annual meeting in cleveland. Michael . Were with dr. Martin phelps from Harvard University. Speaking about tax reform. Getting people thoughts. One thing we didnt address was why we wanted tax reform when we have an economy working faster. What is the benefit . Not cuttingn it is taxes or stimulating demand. It is where capital is used in economy and in the world. We have a tax system that discourages capital coming into the business sector. That discourages capital coming into the united states, because our Corporate Tax rate is higher than the tax rate of other industria countries. Foreignwe tax the subsidiaries of u. S. Corporations causes them to leave their funds outside the u. S. Rather than bringing them back home to invest here. Michael how do we know it will be used for productive uses growing the economy as opposed to going to shareholders in the form of dividends or buybacks . Mr. Feldstein even if it goes to shareholders as dividends or buybacks, they will rush out to consume more. They will use those funds. They will save those funds, they would use them to invest in other companies. Michael if they bring the money back on a deemed repatriation from overseas, much of the money in 2004 went into dividends, buybacks, mergers, and acquisitions and was not invested in software and thinks that would help. Mr. Feldstein we dont really know that. We know a lot of it was used to buy back shares. What does a shareholder do with the money he got when shares were bought back . You bought other shares. Maybe he but shares in a startup company. The money stayed in the economy and got invested rather than leading to increases in consumer spending. Michael you are a conservative economist. You worked in the reagan administration. One of the big concerns then was the fact that the tax cuts, unless they were offset, would increase the deficit. You made it revenue neutral. They are not talking about that in washington this year. Mr. Feldstein theyre not talking full revenue neutral, but in order to get it through the senate they will have to use socalled reconciliation. Any increase in the deficit has to stop within 10 years. Anything after 10 years, those deficits cannot be larger than they are currently projected to be. It looks like as part of the budget legislation they will put an increase limit on the amount to which the buz budget deficit can increase of about. 5 gdp. Said that. Have 5 gdp. We are at 71 now. If there is no legislative change according to the congressional budget office, we are heading to 91. If they dont do anything better, we are heading to 96. I dont like that. I dont want to give up the opportunity to improve our tax system for corporations, both in the u. S. And the subsidiaries of american corporations abroad. Michael there are arguments in favor of Corporate Tax reform. The individual is a harder case to make given the state of the economy. After the tax cuts we saw in the early 2000s, income disparity widened a lot. Are you worried that will happen again . Mr. Feldstein in 1986 when we personal income tax reform, the rate came down to 28 . It is now 40 . It was pushed up a little by george h. W. Bush, then pushed up a littleclinton, and bit more by obama. I think there is a case for rolling back some tax increases. Michael gator talk from Congressional Republicans that tax cuts pay for themselves. That is not true . Mr. Feldstein they dont pay 100 for themselves. They pay back part of it through higher growth through people choosing marginal tax rates coming down. They choose to get more of their income in taxable formed rather than in Fringe Benefits and perks. That reduces the revenue loss from cutting the tax rate, but it does not eliminate it. That is why we cannot bring down the Corporate Tax rate as much as some of the current discussion suggests. Michael you went through the original tax debate in the reagan administration. That took a couple of years before it was resolved. This administration is talking about introducing the outlines this week and having something done by the end of the year. You think that is realistic . Mr. Feldstein the ways and Means Committee has been working on this for years. So what paul ryan and his colleagues put together was a very detailed plan. I dont think that we have to start as if we michael are starting from scratch today. We are starting from scratch today. Michael how long do you think it will take . Mr. Feldstein i think we will see tax cuts in 2017. If they pass the legislation 2017, i think they will make it retroactive to the beginning of the year so there isnt gameplaying were individuals and companies try to shift their income to 2018. Michael if we get tax cuts it will probably stimulate shortterm growth. Does it give us the longterm 3 growth the president says is possible . Mr. Feldstein i dont think it gives us an extra one percentage point in real growth. That is what theyre talking about. I think we underestimate the true, real growth of gdp. That is a longer subject than we have time for now, but ive been studying how the government makes those estimates. The way that they deal with quality improvements, their failure to deal with new products, means that we are grossly underestimating how well we are actually doing. Michael so we should declare victory and go home. We already have 3 growth . Mr. Feldstein we already have more than that if correctly measured. The fact that we are underestimating it does not mean that if we estimate it more correctly that would produce additional tax revenue. The tax revenue that we get from current growth is what we get. Michael the administration is talking about no tax breaks for wealthy individuals. You think that is wise and fair . Mr. Feldstein i think that the tax rates at the top the deal in 1986 was we will broaden the base. We will take the top rate down to 28 . It is now 40 . A lot of high income individuals say what went wrong question mark and we go back a little bit . From that point of view there is a case where reducing some of the top rates. For joiningnk you us. From Harvard University in cleveland for the National Association for business economics meeting. Vonnie great stuff. Thank you michael mckee, Bloomberg International economics and policy correspondent. Janet yellen will deliver her remarks on Monetary Policy and inflation at the National Association for business economics meeting in cleveland. It is at 12 45 new york time, 5 45 london time.

Saying congress will do more for hurricane victims. You can see that entire conference on tv. Go to the Events Section that tv. Mark futures in focus. Stock prices, the pool market tensions in the middle east, gold the biggest jump in two weeks on korea woes. The bull market through yesterday, how much more upside could we see . Market, im not looking for a lot of upside. Gold needs inflation. When the transition comes to an end if they are correct with the rate hikes you will have inflation. Even if the dollar goes up off the hikes, gold will probably march with it. Every time we get something out of north korea you get a flight to safety havens. Goes up. And yen within 24 hours as we realize it the market verbiage, goes back. Crude oil, nearly 60 a barrel. That is the highest in a year or year and a half. Ira, interesting comments. They are adding to the warnings of a looming supply squeeze. Isy say the oil market ending the lower for longer era. Do you buy into that . Into it in a certain way. Heres what i say. When we had Hurricane Harvey, we crude becauseti no one was buying. The refineries were shot. Now we have a situation where the refineries are up and. Unning we depleted supplies of distillates and gasoline to a degree. We had tankers come in, but we had strong growth in china, a major consumer, and europe, and america. We are firing on a lot of cylinders. The answer is that i think near 60 in brent will be a resistance zone in the market for a while. Anywhere in the 52 area. May be if they close the spread of between brent and wti. Great to see you. Ira epstein with todays futures in focus. Vonnie residents of puerto rico in the dark for a sixth day. In the aftermath of hurricane maria. The devastation to puerto ricos infrastructure is worsening. And the debt crisis as well. Problems on problems. This is bloomberg. Rico is appealing to congress to avoid a humanitarian crisis. The island is reeling in the aftermath of hurricane maria. Facing financial troubles. Puerto rico filed for bankruptcy in may to escape from 70 billion in deb President Donald Trump tweeting much of the island was destroyed with billions of dollars owed to wall street and the banks, which sadly, must be dealt with. And problems. Talk about the humanitarian crisis first. People without electricity and buildings where they can not get pharmaceuticals. Even get they cannot out. Flooding is still an issue. It is still a rescue mission as fema said yesterday. It is extremely serious where the Senior Citizens on the island, for children, for everyone on the island. Hospitals are searching for fuel for their generators the power energy. It is still a very important humanitarian issue. Vonnie even with willingness to help, it is difficult to get supplies there. Difficult to get cash. Difficult to even access the island in some places. Ichelle true natural disasters in u. S. States, you can go to neighboring states. Here, it is an island. You have to fly or barges have to come. That is an issue. Vonnie that is a satellite image of the power outages. It is drastic. I want to point to the bloomberg chart library, 51 point 67, the bond, declining in price now. Have seen the bonds declining in price since the hurricane hit. In the shortterm, this is serious for bondholders. Over the longterm they are. We have the federal control board that is managing puerto rico. There is the federal help from fema.

This is bloomberg. Thank you. Plan fort republican an obama repeal has been dealt a fatal blow. Senator collins became the third gop senator to oppose the measure. The Senate Republicans have vowed to take the issue of yet again. This have for Uncertain Health care stocks . Joining us is Columbus Circle investment portfolio manager. Health care three hundred million dollars. We spoke when the outlook on health care was much more in certain. It looked like there was a good chance of an obamacare repeal. How have you whether the ups and downs of the healthcare care sector since then . Health care has performed some areasear with not doing well, other areas doing well like medical devices, managed care, biotechnology, have doneical stocks fairly well. As have the two parts of controversy for health care, one being obamacare and the other drug pricing, have an fairly limited in the potential negative impacts that people anticipated in 2016. Vonnie did you get out of or into anything as you saw decline for some of the areas . Oliver as we mentioned last time we were here, we were basically selective in our hospital investment. We were along some, and short some. We maintain that position. Our focus on medical devices and biotechnology are key areas where we are investing our capital. That is still the same. Vonnie i want to point to our chart library, 56 point 90 health care estimates. Forward earnings estimates for health care versus the s p 500 are really improving. That is something you might expect. Would you make of these estimates . Are they real things . It looks like any change the health care is dead. There is always the sliver of a chance. Typicalwhat you see is consistency of health care earnings. The groups that did get hit tended to be more on the specialty pharmaceutical groups, of the world. The person pressure and rhetoric hurt firms that tended not to have had a gory killers or killers have category or strong barriers to entry. Those companies have seen a strong decline. Other than that, companies in lifech, pharmaceuticals, sciences, etc. Have seen strong earnings continue. Vonnie we are not seeing tax reform yet. Given that health care has taken up so much of the legislative days in the year, it is looking less likely. Will we get tax reform . You cant answer that, but what will it mean for pharmaceutical stocks when we do . Oliver there is a lot of uncertainty as to what policies would be involved in any kind of tax plan. It seems that where we are now is a more slimmed down version with less controversy on what could pass. For health care, it is important given that there is to enter billion dollars that could be repatriated if they go down that way. Many companies in certain hospitals ande managed care have a tax rate of 40 . If they could get that down a be a big positive. I think they can get something done with the current administration. It has been surprising they havent gotten anything past. It leaves doubt. Lot on pricing came up a the campaign. What are we seeing with drug pricing in a Republicancontrolled Congress . Oliver as we talked about coming into this year, the folks that we saw involved, whether it be congress, the senate, or in terms of the individuals were health and human services, really focused on marketdriven solutions to pricing. We have seen that in terms of, for instance, the fda focused on getting drugs approved quicker. A little bit of an impact already. We think that there are marketdriven forces continuing. As i mentioned, we have seen pressure on some of the companies, especially in the pharma space, that took large price increases, that icing pressure now. Vonnie can you give me the percentage you are long and short . Oliver pretty even where we normally are, 50 net. 100 long, 50 short. Vonnie must be a lot of short opportunities out there. Thank you for joining us. Oliver marti. Mark fantastic stuff. Coming up, the leaders converging in canada. Hat is on the table we keep our eye on french president Emmanuel Macron giving the speech in paris on the future of europe, including fiscal divergence in the eu is driving the parties.

The company has been trying to red lobster. Now you have this surprise. Investors are concerned. A bright spot, the longhorn steakhouse did well. That is one bright spot in the portfolio. Vonnie what about tatars scratch kitchen . Abigail that closed in 2014. There was another called suggest an integration of that could be tougher than what investors were looking for and a drain on the restaurant overall. Something to keep an eye on. It could take a couple of quarters to work that through. Vonnie what about hurricanes . I imagine there are plenty of those restaurants in those areas . Abigail relative to Hurricane Harvey, 1 . Relative to irma they expected double. Hearoo big, but we will about the unfortunate impacts of Hurricane Harvey and are much through the rest of the year on the Corporate Outlook for some of these companies, but nothing matching the devastating effects of People Living there.

That is your latest for the Bloomberg Business flash. Vonnie thank you. Nafta officials are wading into tougher territories. Negotiators meet in canada. They will tackle rules governing the source of input of manufactured goods. Lets bring in carlos cap a an. Carlos capistr thanks for joini us. The third round of nafta negotiations get underway today. What have you seen as an impact upon mexico from the first two rounds and their implications . Carlos thank you for inviting me. The most Important Institution u. S. ,e countries, the canada, and mexico have the largest economy in the world right now. It is important the institutions be updated. To be honest, this is an old treaty now. We see a lot of room for renegotiations to end up in Something Better for the three countries. By the negotiations are taking place, the problem is uncertainty regarding new rules of the game. This is not good for investment. We have seen some delay in investment in the three countries. Therefore, this is something that we hope can end quickly and be wrapped up so that investment can proceed. Vonnie it can be a zerosum game. Goal, is for it to be a zerosum game. Donald trump is saying this cannot be to the detriment of america in any area. How do we end up with a nafta that is good for everybody, but not bad for anybody . Carlos these three countries are very different. They all bring Something Different to the table. They all can benefit. The u. S. , the largest market, mexico can produce things in a cheap way because labor cost is so low, then you have canada of thes the best system threeountries. They complement each other. For sure, you can work things in a way that is beneficial for all the three countries at the same time. Federal elections next year. The president ial election is likely to be tight. How much uncertainty will that cause . Carlos it is causing a lot of uncertainty. We are expecting a tight election. For us, one important thing right now is that you have the Important Institution, nafta, open for renegotiation. At the same time mexico is coming into these tight elections. A lot of uncertainty going on at the same time. Hopefully we can resolve this in a good way. A panel. Have attended canadas economy, is there life after oil . You better answer that question. Is there . Carlos yes, of course. Canada is booming at 4 . The average is 2 . We believe it can continue growing above potential for some time. That depends on what happens with nafta, of course, but with Oil Prices Stabilizing and increasing, and production in the u. S. Rebounding from a recession, the outlook for canada is good in the following quarter. Vonnie bringing you back to mexico, you brought up the peso. Terminalchart on the about how much volatility we have seen with the mexican peso. Trading at 17. 97 all the way to above 22 in january. What are the cons of the currency . Carlos we believe it will depreciate a little bit. It has depreciated the most this year for good reasons. The central bank hiked the rates a lot. Now it has 7 . Politics, and some consideration of the economy, we believe that the risk is for the currency to depreciate a little bit. Versus 21 total return the u. S. Dollar this year year to date of the major currencies. And what do we look for in terms of Monetary Policy . Lets talk about mexico. Carlos you have to see this in the context of the fed hiking. This is the most important for both countries. Mexico already hiked a lot ahead of the fed. 7 . We believe they will remain, then find room to lower rates, probably after the election. Canada seems to be hiking with the fed. We believe more hiking is coming. We have three hikes next year to bring the rate to 1. 75 by the end of next year. Vonnie please visit us again. 2 fascinating countries neighboring the united states. Bank of america head of canada and mexico economics. Anks again. Next, republican senator richard shelby. This is bloomberg. Vonnie the president , donald trump, is speaking at a meeting with lawmakers on the house ways and Means Committee. A couple of headlines, president. Rump saying he is going to very comprehensive report on tax reform is coming. He also says tax reform will make taxes more simple. That is one of the goals of the tax reform plan. The plan will increase the child care tax credit. These are some of the headlines emanating from the meeting with lawmakers on the house ways and Means Committee. Also saying that the plan will cut taxes for the middle class tremendously. Joining us, this and more from capitol hill, senator richard shelby. Lets get your reaction to the planet seems to be agreed upon. Will there be any more luck on this legislation than health care so far . Sen. Shelby we have our problems and challenges with health care. We probably have 47, 48, 49 republican senators together, then two or three that dont want to get on the reservation with us. We have not worked that out yet. Tax reform, i think there is a broad consensus that we all want meaningful, substantive tax reform. That we can help the small businesses, large businesses, but mainly the middle class. People who do the work, pay the taxes in this country. We need to lower their taxes, and we need to do it now. Vonnie are you aware of the actual details of this legislation . Sen. Shelby i have seen some of it. I have not seen the final. Ackage, as we would call it we have all made suggestions to the tax writers and so forth. I have not seen the final product. I bet it is going to be a pretty good one. Vonnie is it going to be deficit neutral . Sen. Shelby i dont know about that. We will have to wait and see. It depends on how you score it. Static scoring or dynamic scoring. What it is today, or what it could be with a lot of growth in the economy. Vonnie depending on what comes out, will you support it unconditionally anyway, or look for changes if there are things you dont like . Sen. Shelby i dont know if i would support it unconditionally, but i plan to support it. Im supported all tax reform packages since i have been a member of congress. I hope this is a good one we can all get behind. It is my intention to support it. Vonnie i want to ask you about the runoff in alabama, your home state. If you could make a prediction first . Sen. Shelby i dont know. I believe it is going to be a close race. It will be determined by the turnout. In a special election you generally have a smaller turnout. We had a smaller turnout in august. If there is a small turnout, i think it would bode well for judge moore. If it is larger, strange would have a good chance. Well have to see how the turnout is in alabama. The weather is good, but people have to go vote. Vonnie who are you supporting . Sen. Shelby i support luther strange. He is a good friend and a colleague. I believe he is doing a good job. A very worthy job. I would hope that he would make it tonight. People have their own minds to make up. They vote all over the board. Vonnie obviously, there has been a lot put into the strange campaign. The president , Mitch Mcconnell would have a lot to lose would luther word strange lose it what would you do if justice more were to win . Wins i will if he support him. I will support the republican ticket. I am a republican. I have known him. I believe if he wins he will win the general election. We have a democratic nominee that will run against either one that will win is contested. We will see. Vonnie how to get your thoughts on the next Federal Reserve chair. What would you like to see in a next Federal Reserve chair . Sen. Shelby i have not made any recommendations. I have talked to the president , but i will not go into what we talked about her and we did mention the Federal Reserve. Uphas Court Nominees coming for the board of governors. Janet yellens term ends in january. I believe he will appoint someone else to take her place. Ultimately, that is a to the president. Vonnie would you like to see someone attached to rules, or do you like the status quo . Sen. Shelby no, i would like to see someone in there that is progrowth. Our economy could grow a lot more. There is 5 trillion lying around in america looking for investment. People are looking to invest for a better return. Theyre getting very little in their savings accounts, in dividends, and everything else. 5 trillion would make this economy grow a lot more than vonnie senator shelby, we have to leave it there.
