Hefty to-do list

1. Growing fears of bank failures, a sinking dollar, $4 gasoline and an economy bleeding jobs. Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and tensions with Iran.

2. I was surprised that the United States had $5.6 trillion surplus because there are a lot of things that that money could be used for. I was surprised that what Bush did added $1.7 trillion to national debt because that is a lot of money and I thought he would be more concious on what he was spending. I was surprised that education ranks sixth in what Americans think is an important issue, because education is a very important thing and almost everybody in America has been through some sort of education.

3. One piece of bias is when the two presidents’ economic advisors talk about the candidate they are helping, because since they are trying to get that candidate elected, they are going to show more facts that favor that candidate. Another piece of bias is when the political science professor talks, because he is stating his own opinion on how people act in regards to the economy.

4. I think McCain would do a better job dealing with the issues because he plans to spend money during his campaign within the spending limits, he voted for an effort to cap greenhouse gas emissions, and says that there will be no new taxes if he is elected.
