WH adviser Kudlow: Economy still in freefall from pandemic shutdown

The US economy is still in freefall from the pandemic shutdown and cannot spend its way out of the downturn, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told Fox News on Friday.

“Cutting the corporate tax rate in half for companies moving production back to the US is something to look at,” Kudlow added. “In a few weeks, perhaps White House will negotiate on an economic relief package.”
