Bill Clinton and George W. Bush never ran against each other. Their economic legacies are about to.
The 2008 presidential election will present voters with an economic choice between Bush-like tax cuts and support for private Social Security accounts -- positions embraced by John McCain -- and Barack Obama's calls for a return to a Clinton- era progressive tax structure and universal health care. Obama has even named a disciple of Clinton's Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin to direct his economic-policy team.
