Economic views of Presidential Candidates
A breakdown of the economic advisers and general biases of the three likely presidential candidates - McCain, Clinton, and Obama. Interestingly enough, all three seem to lack hands-on experience in economics and all three have assembled teams very reminiscent of themselves. McCain has a roster of 37 advisers all of whom are supply-side, free market guys and Republican power players. Clinton has chosen many of the former aides to her husband. And, Obama has chosen up and coming academic who are on the cutting edge of economic research. Though, it's likely that if Clinton or Obama were elected they would ultimately appoint similar economic counselors as both have ties to Bill's former advisors.
With the economy seemingly teetering on the brink and with America's role in the global economy beginning to change, the next president will have a monumental task at hand to ensure our country's prosperity. Who do you think is up to the task?
