The Missing Economic Debate
Instead of addressing the real problems, Obama and Romney are focusing on deficit reduction.
Barack Obama and Mitt Romney agree on at least one thing: that this
election is “a choice between two different paths for America,” as the
president put it. Yet when it comes to the economy, many of the basic
reasons for our sluggish recovery and the ideas needed to address it
have been missing from the debate. Instead, we have been given a choice
between the clearly mistaken supplyside tax cuts and deregulation
championed by Romney, on the one hand, and the wellmeaning but timid
proposals of Obama, on the other. Here are five economic ideas that
should be at the center of the election debate but are not.
