''Obamney vs Robama: an Anarchic view of America's Economic and Political Duopoly!''
From RT.com.....................''Welcome to Capital Account. Last night the two main contenders for US
President debated issues including tax policy, jobs, energy, and the
national debt. During the debate President Barack Obama proposed "the
way we're going to create jobs here is not just to change our tax code
but also to double our exports." But to whom, exactly, can we export?
The Eurozone, the US's largest trading partner, is contracting, and
major emerging markets are slowing down. On the other hand, Mitt Romney
stated that, "On day one, I will label China a currency manipulator."
China is the largest foreign customer for US debt; do we really want to
start a trade war with China? And where was the discussion of lobbying,
of special interests and of the favorable treatment for connected,
too-big-to-fail firms? What about a serious conversation that delves
into how we may finally begin slicing into the sacred cow of military
spending and the major firms that benefit from it? Perhaps when it comes
to these issues, the candidates are not very different; our guest, Joel
Bowman, Managing Editor for The Daily Reckoning, describes the
candidates as "Obamney" and "Robama." We talk to Joel Bowman about why
he feels the two candidates are not so different after all.''
