About USPolicy.Com

USPolicy.com, begun in 1998, is an informative resource dedicated to broader knowledge of the most important issues facing America. The premise of USPolicy.com is that people will be able to understand issues only when when information is organized, balanced, and rapidly accessible. NewsGuidesTM follows that approach, providing information that can help you understand what’s going on in the news, argue a point, find a relevant topic for a paper, launch your own research, or make decisions as a concerned citizen. NewsGuidesTM lays out the top issues, giving the essential facts and analysis to help you better understand the news.  For additional information, Desk Reference on the Economy (Congressional Quarterly) and An Economic Record of Presidential Performance from Truman to Bush (Praeger Publishers) are also available. These favorably-reviewed books are useful resources for delving deeper into aspects of the U.S. economy.
