We need economic reform.

Obama was a good president. He will be remembered for his health care initiatives. What we need now is economic reforms. We need transformations that will turn the economy into one where we have a growing middle class and rising wages. With the global economy and automation, the conventional policies don't work any more. We need leaders who will think outside of the box. I am not convinced that Biden understands this.

His recent statement in a meeting with wealthy donors, where he told not to worry about their income, has really soured on me.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

She is the most educated and knowledgeable about anything dealing with economics. She has been lecturing the House and Senate for decades on that topic.
