With the 2008 election occurring next month things are really heating up in politics. In my opinion some of the most important issues in todays society are the economy, the energy crisis, and the always controversial debate over taxes. Below are three blogs that I have found to be extremely helpful in keeping up with the fast-paced and ever changing world of politics, especially in the issues described above.

Renewable Energy:The New Oil?
With the depletion of nonrenewable resources such fossil fuels and natural gas, the growing price of gas and oil, and increased global warming, America is in serious need of some new energy resources. This blog by Tommy discusses the danger of Americas large consumption of nonrenewable resources and offers many different renewable techniques such as geothermal energy, biofuels, solar energy and hydropower that can be improved and mastered to help make our energy use more efficient. Through his blog, readers learn not only learn the views and solutions offered by McCain and Obama but are also well informed of the effects of fuel consumption in US and the rest of the world. Tommy keeps his blog up to date and has the latest information on the election and energy world.

Apparently Money Doesn't Grow on Tree's
2008 has introduced a lot of new problems into the economy. The mortgage bubble that has been building up for the past few years has finally been recognized and created a major financial crisis. Huge companies are crumbling, banks are declaring bankruptcy, and the stock market is crashing. All of these factors have created the need for a bail plan, which is just one of the issues discussed in Britney's blog. It also provides details on candidates plans for boosting the economy back up and discusses whether the US government places enough regulation on its capitalist economy. Britney includes many interesting video clips and images and updates her blog regularly to help readers stay in touch with the financial issues of America and the latest plans to bailout the economy.

The Issue On Taxes
No matter who gets elected in this years election, one thing is for sure...the amount Americans pay in taxes will see drastic change. Whether this change will be good or bad and who is affected most will be determined according to who is elected president. If Obama is elected president then lower and middle class Americans earning less than 250,000 a year will be very greatful to see tax breaks while those earning more will not be as happy to see an increase in taxes. If McCain is elected, Americans earning over 250,000 will be appreciative of tax breaks while those earning less will have a heavier burden to pay. This and other issues relating to taxes and the economy are analyzed and discussed in this blog by IGetNosSleep. The views of the candidates are expressed in extreme detail while possible consequences of their plans to the economy and government services are presented. This blog really helps readers to develop an educated opinion of whose tax policy will best benefit the economy and who to support and vote for in the 08 election.
