As the election is heating up, more and more issues are arising in the United States. With the economy failing, businesses are folding up left and right, people are foreclosing their homes, and the stock market is at one of the lowest points since the depression in 1929.
The Cato-at-liberty blog hits home great points about how this election is really starting to get out of hand, including how Racism in the election is a big issue. But what I found interesting about this blog post was that Obama is facing less discrimination for his color, then former President John F. Kennedy faced during his 1960 election for being catholic.
A huge debate on what to do with the U.S's economy is the main focus of the Cato blog. Obama and McCain's tax plans are extremely different, but Obama's is stirring a lot of contraversy and is said to be almost socialistic. This is a video that compares both of the presidential candidates tax plans.
Overall, this blog has everything there is to know about what is going on from the economy, to the election and I feel very up to date about what's been going on lately.

Hey Brianna!
I am glad to see you found a better blog than the first one. I liked your post. The topic stated about Racism in this election is really cool. It is true; the election is getting out of hand and people are taking it really seriously. Did you hear about the Obama assassination plot? Fortunately, the two guys were arrested, but Obama could be out into real danger if elected president. John F. Kennedy was harshly discriminated against during a political election and look what happened to him. We are made of a country that is "free" to all. People should not be making racist comments or performing deadly acts.
I liked your chart. It was a cool piece to the blog. As you can see McCain is lowering taxes and Obama is doing slightly the opposite. Who do you think has the better plan?
