Reply #14: Clark has strong economic credentials too [View All]

[Meritaten1]

While his background on military/national security issues may be a strong selling point, it would be interesting to know whether the members of the This Week focus group of New Hampshire voters were familiar with his economics/business expertise. He mentioned his economic background during an interview with Meet the Press today:

-He has a Master's Degree from Oxford University;

-He taught economics and politics at West Point;

-He was a White House Fellow assigned to the Office of Management and Budget;

-He has practical, first hand experience as an investment banker/consultant;

-His Families First Tax Reform Plan would give a big tax break to working families (families of four making less than $50,000 a year don't pay ANY federal income tax and families with children making less than $100,000 a year get a tax cut).

The mainstream media seems to miss a lot of good opportunities to find out more about his domestic and economic policies.
