Election 2006: The Economy and Divided Government

Wednesday 08 November 2006

The 2006 midterm elections will have a profound impact on both national and state politics. With Democrats having retaken the House, and perhaps the Senate as well (pending a Virginia recount), the implications for U.S. foreign policy and domestic tax and budget policy are significant. In this segment of Cato's Election 2006 coverage, we examine what impact divided government may have on the country's current economic situation.
