What the Presidential Candidates Aren't Talking About
by William A. Niskanen
William A. Niskanen, chairman of the Cato Institute, was the acting chairman of
the Council of Economic Advisers under President Reagan.
"Too many important policy issues are not likely to be addressed by the major
party candidates in this year's presidential campaign. As of this week's
Republican convention, Senator Kerry has chosen to differ with President Bush
on only a few important issues: Who should be president? How much to spend on
health care? And, what should be the top marginal income tax rates? But there
are a number of important policy issues about which there seems to be little
prospect of an informed debate during this year's campaign."
