As of Tuesday night, Barack Obama is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic party. And the actual Presidential race can now begin between him and John McCain. Whatever your political views may be, you can be sure that their respective economic agendas will be at the forefront of this race. And as a primer for what is sure to come, this article from CNN Money gives an overview of both candidates’ views on various aspects of the economy.

It’s an interesting read at the very least to get informed about both of their views. And we should take the time to understand what their views are on specific issues. It shouldn’t be enough to vote for someone based on their campaign slogan, “Change we can believe in”, since change just means something different, not necessarily better. Likewise, another recent campaign slogan is “Leadership we can believe in”, yet the direction that leadership takes needs to be something you actually want. The point is to get informed to make a good decision, instead of just a bandwagon one.
