Today I got a huge treat: Ben took a long nap and I got to read the entire Wall Street Journal and much of this week's Economist. Both had some good articles on the candidates' economic platforms that I found enlightening and worth sharing. I know there are alot, hope I didn't get too carried away.
As a more-than-average informed citizen, but by no means a hardcore political junkie, I'm always looking for news sources that clearly and succinctly give a candidate's views on a particular topic. As you can tell from my favorite reading material, I lean more toward fiscal conservatism and free markets. What are your thoughts on the candidate's economic policies?
