Do the Math

This article provides figures demonstrating not only that Democrats are better for the economy than Republicans, but how and why. This matches my personal observations; I'm pleased to have numbers to go along. I just wish that more people voted based on facts more than hand-waving or who'd they'd like to invite over for a beer. Republicans make themselves popular by playing with imaginary money, until America pays the price. People, please -- stop playing Charlie Brown to their Lucy with the economic football.

I have long since been of the opinion that we should not vote for people, or even parties. Instead, we should split the voting procedure into a questionnaire. "What is your opinion on these issues?" "Which issues do you consider important? Least important?" "What do you want to do about them?"

After answering the questions you are then told which party most closely aligns with what you chose. (Ideally, under some sort of coalition system where there were several main parties) And then you vote.

Because I think far too many people have absolutely no idea what any politicians are actually doing.
