Obama's plan, is built around $250 tax rebates to workers that Goolsbee said could be deposited "overnight," meets the condition of immediacy that he said is necessary for a stimulus package to have any positive effect. If the recession did begin in the last quarter of 2007 as some economists speculate, any further delays in people receiving money would be too late to help.
Clinton's plan demonstrates the candidate's unique understanding of the American middle class. "She has observed a disconnect between Washington policy and what she's heard on the campaign trail," he said. Clinton's plan consists of, in part, the establishment of a $30 billion emergency housing fund to mitigate foreclosures, $10 billion for unemployment insurance, and $30 billion in energy assistance.
Clinton's economic platform, though aggressive, is well-thought out, detailed and grounded in many of the current economic programs. She is the only candidate that has stated a commitment to a balanced budget. Since the budget deficit is a large contributor to the declining dollar, high oil prices and inflation, its elimination is critical to the long-term health of the U.S. economy. For these reasons, Clinton's platform would be most beneficial to the economy.

McCain's desire to both increase military spending and decrease taxes will increase the budget deficit, which will weaken the economy
McCain says he doesn't understand economics.He has a tendency to flip-flop not on specific economic policies, but on broad economic themes like whether or not inequality is a problem.

Barack Obama
Obama's economic platform is visionary, yet does not give enough detail to determine if it is feasible. Without a commitment to a balanced budget, it could be detrimental to the economy.
Mrs. Clinton put her emphasis on issues like inequality and the role of institutions like government, rather than market forces, in addressing them.
She said that economic excesses — including executive-pay packages she characterized as often “offensive” and “wrong” and a tax code that had become “so far out of whack” in favoring the wealthy — were holding down middle-class living standards. . . .
Mr. Obama said he would to try to forge a popular mandate for policy changes that could reverse a generation of slow wage growth and outlast any one administration. At the top of his list would be shifting the tax burden more toward the wealthy and making investments — in health care, alternative-energy research and education — that would cost a significant amount of money but could ultimately lift economic growth.
