WSJ.com - Government Showdown

 I know a lot of my articles lately are about the election, but that's because most of the commentary to choose from is about the election.  I'll try to keep it as diversified as I can over the next 8 months...

In the middle of an election that is supposed to be about "change," the country is instead being treated to the most old-fashioned of economic debates. The fun of it is that neither side is being shy about where it stands, which has only sharpened the old choice: higher taxes and bigger government, or more economic freedom and reform. With health care, entitlements and education all on the agenda, the stakes are huge.

None of this is to say this economic battle won't encompass "change." If a Democrat wins the general election, things will certainly look different, starting with your tax bill. And if Mr. McCain is smart, his campaign will go beyond criticizing the opposition to put forward a bold economic reform agenda that encompasses the latest in enlightened conservative thinking. Strip all this away, though, and it's the age-old debate about the role of government. And it is shaping up to be a doozy.
