Out of Iowa

Article Abstract:

The US presidential election campaign can be said to have started in Iowa. There is a need for debate in US politics on issues such as health care reform, and Bill Bradley has been able to force a discussion of how the uninsured should be cared for. The Republicans have debated fiscal policy, campaign funds and foreign policy. Simplication of the tax system is preferable to simply reducing taxes, and the US should not cut taxes unless spending is cut, since this could overstimulate the economy.
