Just 18 days to go before the mid-term elections on November 2nd, and the political debates are heating up all over the country. This week, Delaware Senate Candidates Christine O'Donnell and Chris Coons squared off in a televised debate. The debate has been very much talked about over the last several days as both candidates get in as much as they can to the citizens of Delaware before election day.
In economic news, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke addressed reporters in Boston today to discuss the future actions to stimulate the economy. Bernanke stated that the economy is better than before, but "less vigorous that we would like." This announcement came as the Fed is expected to continue buying U.S. Treasury Bonds to stimulate further growth.
As the unemployment rate continues to hover around 10%, jobs continue to be a key issue for the upcoming election. Democrats continue to run on issues other than ObamaCare, cap and trade, and the stimulus bill signed by President Obama last year.
Check back later for further details on the election and all economic news.
