Glenn Hubbard is dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Business and coauthor of "Seeds of Destruction: Why the Path to Ruin Runs Through Washington, and How to Reclaim American Prosperity".
From 2001 to 2003, Hubbard served as President George W. Bush's first
chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. During that time, he was
instrumental in designing the Bush tax cuts. I called him to ask what he
thought of their limited extension, and the deal Republicans cut to
secure it.

Bush tax cuts now at the heart of debate in Washington. conomist and
Democrat Alice Rivlin was at the heart of Clinton-era economic policy,

Columbia University's business school and former George W. Bush advisor,
says Americans need to think about the size of the government.

$273 billion worth of their own shares this year. That is on top of the nearly $2 trillion in cash they are sitting on already.Glenn Hubbard says extend the Bush tax cut, and they will have incentive to hire, instead of hoard. Contact
