The presidential elections is less than two weeks away. The voters are told , every presidential cycle, that the difference between the candidates has never been this great and that this election is the most important that we have seen in a long time. Well what did you expect them to say? The two parties are essentially copies of each other and it makes no difference who is elected!!! :-)
Ralph Nader never tired of telling us that the two political parties are a duopoly i.e. a market controlled by two firms/organizations. Obviously many think that the Nader analysis is faulty and that we do have a fairly competitive electoral system that presents us with a real choice.
Whether you believe in the Nader hypothesis or its opposite is not important for this post. If you are a student who is carrying the financial burden created by a Student Loan then each of the two major parties has a rather different plan to deal with the over $1 Trillion student debt problem.
I do not intend to do your thinking for you. You look at the major items that each of the two candidates supports and decide which of the two plans suits you and the country best. Do not forget to vote.
