Kudlow speaks of "pro growth" policies. Everyone is pro-growth, so let me suggest a methodology for determining how best to get there.

The GDP is how we measure growth. Historical GDP data can be found at www.bea.gov a website maintained by the federal government. Look up the data. You will see that since World War II, under Democratic presidents the economy grows about 20% faster (average of about 4%/year) than it does under Republican presidents (average of just over 3%/year).

I am going to vote "pro growth." I'll bet, dollars to doughnuts, that Kudlow won't.
