About
About USPolicy.Com
USPolicy.com was created to contribute to the public’s access to quantitative analysis of current issues. The premise of USPolicy.com is that an issue’s substance is at least as important as its politics. USPolicy.com holds the view that people will be able to understand the important issues facing the U.S. and make better decisions when provided analytical and substantive information that is well-organized, balanced, and easily accessible. The President as Economist by Richard Carroll and NewsGuidesTM follows that approach, providing information that can help people understand what’s going on in the news, argue a point, find a relevant topic for a paper, launch one’s own research, or make decisions as a concerned citizen.
