Bones, Obama does not have a degree in economics nor does McCain, nor does Hilary. Obama did not state nor did I that he was a genius in the field of economics. I think McCain stating he doesn't know anything about this stuff leads me to believe that he doesn't even have a thought about an economic policy, just like Bush. You can rip on Obama, Hilary and me all you want but at least they are trying to come up with ideas that will offer a hope for the middle class in America.
thoughts on that $500,000 per household to pay off the national debt? Thoughts on how it has doubled in one year alone? Thoughts on the current economic policy of Bush's

?? Here's a little bit of info. The Bush stimulus package appears headed to cost over 200 billion.
this is an example of really stupid economic policy.
Sloth your passenger analogy is a good one if one was indeed just a passenger. I believe she was much more than a passenger plus she has a proven track record in the political arena all on her own.
As soon as Obama and/or Hilary announce their complete economic package we can discuss. I will also wait to see what McCain's looks like. Hopefully he has one.
