It seems that the federal government is thinking the same thing, too, what with the national debt clock already running at $10.3 trillion and only rising! Times are scary, no? The U.S. economy has surely taken quite a hit over the past few months. Many people are still confused with the state of the economy — and where the candidates stand in regard to fixing it. With a recession and the need for reform on the minds of a majority of Americans, I thought readers might be interested in two non-partisan guides we’ve put together here at Public Agenda on the economy (<a href="http://publicagenda.org/citizen/electionguides/economy" rel="nofollow">http://publicagenda.org/citizen/electionguides/...</a>) and taxes, spending and debt (<a href="http://publicagenda.org/citizen/electionguides/taxesdebt" rel="nofollow">http://publicagenda.org/citizen/electionguides/...</a>). Feel free to check these out and get back to me with any questions. Thanks again for an informative piece!
