Econ

Much of the turmoil in politics today has it roots in Econ 101 and it comes in two parts. First is the old adage of guns vs butter where liberals have always preferred to spend money on social programs and conservatives are more interested in a strong national defense. This part is aggravated by the fact that many people see the world of economics as being static. They believe that when you spend money on defense you have less to spend on social programs but in fact with a good economic plan the pie gets larger and you can spend more on both. The basic secret is to have a growing economy. Which candidates are offering proposals that will grow the economy which means more jobs and higher wages.
