Great article. 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 you might be interested in two non-partisan guides we’ve put together here at Public Agenda on the economy (http://publicagenda.org/citizen/electionguides/...) and taxes, spending and debt (http://publicagenda.org/citizen/electionguides/...). Feel free to check these out and get back to me with any questions. Thanks again for an informative piece!

I find it interesting to look at a figure such as $700 billion and no longer consider it "that much money." 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?

Re: Hawaii Learns Tough Lession: Free Childrens Health Insurance Program Abused By Wealthy Parents

Great post. It's great to see bloggers continue to focus on health care as we approach next week's election. It is, without a doubt, an important and complex issue. Did you know that the federal government spends nearly $700 billion annually on health care? Or that the private sector costs an estimated $1.1 trillion each year?

Here at Public Agenda we're put together an informative non-partisan guide that focuses on the facts and on the plethora of perspectives surrounding the health care debate in America. You can learn more about health care statistics by visiting publicagenda.org/citizen/electionguides/healthcare and feel free to contact us with any questions.
