The Republican candidates have been in full force preparing for the primary elections that will be starting soon. As an economist many of their policy proposals and statements have baffled me. President Obama is equally guilty of making economic statements that just are not true. Over the next several weeks I intend to comment on the candidates' economic philosophies and proposals.
To reduce unemployment and improve the nation's fiscal position, we absolutely need to get the economy growing at a faster clip. In my opinion that requires laying out a roadmap for future taxes and spending and addressing the structural deficits related to Social Security and Medicare. In upcoming posts I will be grading the candidates and President Obama on their ability to get this job done.
Stay tuned.
