It
depends upon whom you ask. Most business
leaders and investors favor Senator McCain's low tax, less government spending,
free trade stance, despite McCain's admission to The Wall Street Journal on November 26, 2005 that "I know a lot less about economics than I do about
military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." However, if you ask low-income workers, the
poor, those without health insurance, and those whose jobs have been
outsourced, Senator Obama would be favored, despite his lack of business
experience. The differences are stark
and clearly defined.
However, as a "deficit
hawk," I have a much more difficult time deciding between the two. How much, if anything, would they do to lift
the terrible $3.9
trillion of additional public debt that President Bush has incurred on
behalf of our children?
