It's impossible to be an Involved Voter today without a willingness to dig below the surface and get more familiar with economic causes and solutions.
I recommend taking a look at what Henry Blodget has written at Business Insider. Here's a link to a recent post: http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-vs-romney-economy-2012-6
In the article, Blodget points out that who is right depends on the goal. Is the goal to heal the overall economy gradually while minimizing pain and disruption, or to try to cure the problem by going "cold
turkey"--without any regard for the (hopefully temporary) pain,
unemployment, GDP shrinkage, and increased debt, deficits, and
inequality that will result from this approach? He then gives reasons why the former goal is the preferred one.
