What USA Today has to Say on September 16, 2008


September 16, 2008 3:00 p.m.

Today’s top news story, “Fed leaves interest rates unchanged in face of financial turmoil,” expresses major concerns about inflation and the slowing rate of economic growth. This financial continues to be discussed in USA Today headlines, with the political story, “Candidates pin blame in financial ‘crisis’.”
This article reports that McCain and Obama are arguing over what they have both deemed a “financial crisis.” McCain supposedly blamed “self-interest, greed, irresponsibility, and corruption,” and Obama mentioned GOP economic policies which show favoritism to the wealthy. Throughout the article, many quotes “bashing” McCain are included from Obama and his economic advisor. However, information from Maya MacGuineas, director of fiscal policy with the non-partisan New America Foundation, is included expressing her belief that both candidates have made rational suggestions.
Tuesday’s top issue is without a doubt, the financial situation. Although I still cannot truly determine a favoritism shown to either party, the main story tonight provided many instances of negative quotes from Obama in regards to McCain’s views on financial issues. After a few more weeks of careful observation, hopefully something will surface!
