Last week Fox News Media announced that he would join Fox Business Network as a contributor and host of his own weekday program.<\/p>\n<p>Elaborating on his disagreement with Trump in the last two months, Kudlow indicated that Trump would have been \u201cbetter advised\u201d to talk about his \u201cgreat\u201d policy achievements in foreign policy and economic policy, at the time when electoral votes were confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Kudlow also criticized the Biden administration\u2019s plans to raise the national\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-minimum-wage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minimum wage<\/a> and implement a $1.9 trillion stimulus package.<\/p>\n<p>Kudlow said raising the national minimum wage will hurt the poorest part of the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce you get outside of, let\u2019s say, New York and California, maybe Illinois, the cost of living is much lower in all these states,\u201d Kudlow said. \u201cAnd these small businesses that are desperately trying to reopen, they can\u2019t afford it. And therefore, they\u2019re going to lay off workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love a maximum wage. I think you have to grow the economy with low taxes and regulations and so forth. And that will get everybody a job, and that\u2019ll get them up to a maximum \u2018minimum wage.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut federal legislation never works,\u201d Kudlow stressed. \u201cIt costs jobs. It damages those who need them the most. And it\u2019s a terrible idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden signed two executive orders on Jan. 22, one of which will establish a $15 minimum wage for federal employees and contractors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one in America should work 40 hours a week making below the poverty line,\u201d Biden said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also proposed a $1.9 trillion stimulus package last month to support families and small businesses during the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/giving-the-right-name-to-the-virus-causing-a-worldwide-pandemic-2_3277200.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus<\/a>\u00a0pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t even know how much money has been spent or not spent from the prior packages,\u201d Kudlow pointed out. \u201cThat\u2019s the odd thing about this. There is no accounting. I\u2019ve seen no numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should be assessing the economy before we dive into another $2 trillion [package], which I must say is something of a Democratic wish list.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"below_the_article\" data-google-query-id=\"CJDVyJyfy-4CFciqwAodmhIM3Q\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Larry Kudlow, one of former President Donald Trump\u2019s top economic advisers, told Fox News on Monday that Trump was a \u201cbrilliant, consequential\u201d president. \u201cWhile I may disagree with President Trump&#8217;s &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1898687,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4763,4760,3669,3634],"class_list":["post-115471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-consequential","tag-kudlow","tag-president","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1898687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
