  • HPI Analysis: Rokita's Senate Edge
    V23, N15 Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2017 HPI Analysis: Rokita’s Senate edge While no one has GOP race locked up, Rokita is closer than many might think By MARK SOUDER FORT WAYNE – Obviously, Congressman Todd Rokita has not locked up the Republican nomination for Senate yet, but he is closer than most think. It is no surprise that Rokita has a significant early lead. He has twice run and won statewide for secretary of state, as well as serving as a congressman.

  • Reagan Roundtable
    Air date: June 11, 2004 Reagan roundtable KAREN GIBBS: While the country was mourning a beloved ex-president, there were lots of undercurrents moving through the markets. Gas prices fell, giving temporary relief at the pump, but rising import prices signal higher energy prices down the road. The group of eight industrialized countries met off the coast of Georgia, but they might as well have been playing golf for all the attention the meeting received. Fed chairman Alan Greenspan warned of higher interest rates to combat inflation, and a telecom ruling favoring regional bell companies could affect millions of consumers. And a new study showed that being rich doesn't guarantee you'll get lucky. But all of that took a back seat to the news of the death of the 40th president of the United States. No other president has an economic theory named after him. He left an indelible imprint on government an Wall Street. John Rutledge was an early architect of the Reagan economic plan. He now runs Rutledge Capital and joins us from New York City. Steven Leuthold, chairman of Leuthold Weeden Capital Management, credits Reagan for winning the Cold War but fears the Reagan legacy of higher deficits. Steve joins us from Portland, Maine. Well, John, let me ask you, the Reaganomics theories of increased defense, reduced taxes, lower government spending, and deregulation are still with us today. How do we grade Reaganomics? JOHN RUTLEDGE: Well, you know, we should have called him the Clipper instead of the Gipper, because he wanted lower taxes, lower spending, lower regulations, and lower inflation.
