The Economist came out with an article today, provocatively entitled “Bomb OPEC.” In the article, they suggest that the 3 Presidential candidates’ economic policies and knowledge makes this campaign season difficult to watch. According to the article, none of the three is presenting a cogent economic policy. They would rather bash China and [...]

Hillary Clinton takes a very hawkish stance on National defense. When analyzing the differences between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, it is this national security hawkishness which strikes me as the most important policy difference between the two.
