In 1987, Kudlow was hired by Bear Stearns as its chief economist and senior managing director. Kudlow also served as an economic counsel to A. B. Laffer & Associates, the San Diego, California, company owned by Arthur Laffer, a major supply-side economist and promoter of the "Laffer curve", an economic measure of the relationship between tax levels and government revenue. Kudlow was fired from Bear Stearns in the mid-1990s due to his cocaine addiction.
——那太好了，习近平一定会笑得赶紧托住下巴。其实，当关税加到2500亿时，就已经成了“杀敌一千自损三千”大棒了，后来再增加3000亿，就成了“杀敌一千自损八千”了。现在如果特朗普再“大幅度增加对中国商品的关税”，那将不是压垮中国这个骆驼的最后一根稻草，而将是压垮美国这个骆驼的最后一根稻草。因为中国可以不卖货给美国，但是美国却不能不买中国货。美国人若能找到替代者，中国人也许还会承担一部分关税，但也不会承担到亏本的程度。俗话说杀头的生意有人做，亏本的买卖没人做，最多就是不做美国的生意了嘛。但是美国若找不到替代者，那关税就得由美国人来承担，中国人笃定泰山，因为你早晚还得回来找我要货。现在就是这种情况，中国人一点都不怕特朗普再加税，再加也是加在美国人头上。
