McCain says he doesn't understand economics.He has a tendency to flip-flop not on specific economic policies, but on broad economic themes like whether or not inequality is a problem.
In one of her most extensive interviews about how she would approach the economy, Mrs. Clinton laid out a view of economic policy.
The democrat senator Clinton has different thoughts than republican senator Mccain.

Presidential elections
McCain began his first full day as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee talking about national security and the threat posed by Iran.
Hillary Rodham Clinton can bank on the support of women. Conservatives will never trust John McCain. Southern white men won't vote for Barack Obama.
Obama did not say whether he'd send troops but responded: "As commander in chief, I will always reserve the right to make sure that we are looking out for American interests. And if al-Qaida is forming a base in Iraq, then we will have to act in a way that secures the American homeland and our interests abroad."

The Collapse of Bear Stearns and its implications for Jamaica

In my column published last week Friday, I noted that "Interestingly, CNBC reported yesterday that the world's leading investment bank, Goldman Sachs, now appears reluctant to deal with Bear Stearns as a counterparty, a bad sign if there ever was one." During the course of the same day, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest securities firm in the United States, went into a death spiral with shocking rapidity, as the options market signalled its value could be zero.

National Debt:the financial obligations of a national government resulting from deficit spending.
Trade Deficit:an excess of imports over exports.
The difference between these tow that national debt Debt and trade deficit,is that national debt owed by the federal government. The national debt is made up of such debt obligations as Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. Congress imposes a ceiling on the national debt, which has been increased on occasion when accumulated deficits near the ceiling. By the mid-2000s, the national debt stood at more than $9 trillion. The interest due on the national debt is one of the major expenses of the federal government. The national debt, which is the total debt accumulated by the government over many decades, should not be confused with the federal budget deficit, which is the excess of spending over income by the federal government in one fiscal year. The trade Deficit
Excess of imports of goods (raw materials, agricultural and manufactured products, and capital and consumer products) over the exports of goods, resulting in a negative balance of trade. Trade surplus is the reverse. The balance of trade is distinguished from the Balance of Payments, which consists of the Current Account including services as well as merchandise trade and other invisible items such as interests and profits earned abroad. Factors that affect a country's balance of trade include the strength or weakness of its currency value in relation to those of the countries with which it trades and the comparative advantage in key manufacturing areas.
I think that trate deficit will hurt more the economy, because they imply the capital that is leaving a country, can cause higher interest rates.

deflatio:a fall in the general price level or a contraction of credit and available money (opposed to inflation).
stagflation:an inflationary period accompanied by rising unemployment and lack of growth in consumer demand and business activity.
i m sorprise to see how the measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.
The CPI does not include investment items, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and life insurance.
