Finally They Agree

"Obama, McCain Focus on Economy" by Robert Barnes and Shailagh Murray in the Austin Statesman on October 14th 2008

This articles discusses the main thing voters will have in their mind this election which is the economy. The way the nominees have dealt with it is by making new plans for the economy to get the voters support. Obama is going to add $60 Billon of tax breaks. McCain's plan is to "renegotiate distressed mortgages to help middle class homeowners and cut taxes". Both candidates will stop "home foreclosures at some banks for 90 days, give a 2 year tax break to businesses that will supply jobs to people in need, and give permission for people to withdraw up to $10,000 without penalty for two years".

I find this article interesting because I am interested in the debate between Obama and McCain. I was surprised that they agree on something. I like the agreement items because it will give relief to small business that are creating jobs for people. It will also give relief to people who can't pay their taxes. It will also allow some people to keep their shelter while get extra money to pay of the bills.
