...Still, central bankers around the world, in an effort to ward off the worst effects of a global economic slowdown, appear to be engaging in a rate race to the bottom. China on Oct. 29 cut its interest rates for the third time in six weeks, and the BOJ is expected to cut its key policy rate below the current 0.5% soon.

Conservatives welcome immigrants of all cultures to America's shores just as liberals do; they part ways on who should foot the bill and how immigrants should be integrated into society. If Obama loses the election, rather than revealing our views on race or our lack of receptiveness to other cultures, it will show that Americans prefer governance from the middle - not from the far left.
