Sargen speaking at the Senior Center in Charlottesville.
Nicholas Sargen talks about the Republican proposal for corporate and personal tax cuts which is estimated to add $1.5 trillion to the US budget deficit over the next ten years. Sargen argues that case for personal tax cuts to boost the economy is less compelling, especially as the unemployment rate nears 4%.
Nicholas Sargen is an international economist turned global money manager. He has been involved in international financial markets since the early 1970s when he began his career at the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. He subsequently worked on Wall Street for 25 years holding senior positions with Morgan Guaranty Trust (VP International Economics Department), Salomon Brothers Inc. (Director of Bond Market Research), Prudential Insurance (CIO for Global Fixed Income Advisors) and J.P. Morgan Private Bank (Chief Investment Strategist). In 2003 he became chief investment officer for the Western & Southern Financial Group and its affiliate, Fort Washington Investment Advisors Inc., where he now serves as chief economist.
Sargen has written extensively on international financial markets, and he recently authored a book, Global Shocks: An Investment Guide for Turbulent Markets. He appeared frequently on business television programs throughout his career on Wall Street and was a regular panelist on Louis Rukeyser’s Wall Street Week. He was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and received a B.A. in Economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics from Stanford University.

Blokes on the Bench host Andy Richardson and the blokes talk about the world of soccer. This week: With all eyes focused on Sunday’s games, some entertaining games got underway Saturday: Crouchy helps Stoke pull back a draw against Leicester City, Swansea continuing their bad form at home to Brighton, Newcastle were unlucky to lose to Bournemouth, and problems still riddling Bilic at West Ham lose at home to Liverpool, and that’s just the Saturday games. Spurs kicked off Sundays games with a win at home to Crystal Palace, a club in the middle of the relegation zone, Manchester City with another convincing win, this time over Arsenal, and even with rumors surrounding Conte leaving Chelsea, and a loss in Europe midweek, still beat Manchester United, but saving the best game until last, Everton come from two goals down to beat Watford, so lots to talk about!
The blokes are Andy Richardson, Mark Coffman, Alex Gomaa, Christian Galdencio and Daniel Rothamel.
Blokes on a Bench is heard on WPVC 94.7 Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m.

Stories. Telling true stories. Telling funny stories. Telling stories to connect us. Telling stories to self-express. Today on Home Grown we talk with related but different artistic cousins. First Joel Jones, co-founder of Big Blue Door, returns to the show to talk about the latest incarnation of their class Telling True Stories. Joel’s one of the smartest artists that we know so we always love talking to him, though we always feel like we barely scratch his surface. Next we continue our serious talks (or sort of serious) about being seriously funny. Stand-up Chris Alan returns and brings with him fellow comedian Winston Hodges. They’re going to be hosting The Ante Up Comedy Show (Host Battle Edition), and we take the opportunity to talk about the craft of stand-up. It’s a look at the side of art that’s all about stories. (At least that’s our story, and we’re sticking to it.) Of course, all sides of art have a home on Home Grown: Your Show about Local Art.
Home Grown is heard on 94.7 WPVC the Progressive Voice of Charlottesville, Sundays from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
