My 11 year old daughter had an assignment this week: explain the differences between the economics plans of Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama, the two leading candidates for President of the United States.

We looked at their Web sites, and found that we weren’t going to find a fair, coherent discussion of the differences, and in fact, we found it hard to find anything on the Internet that provided this in a way that a sixth grader could digest.

Now there is.

This is how I explained the differences to her and now it exists on the Internet for other sixth graders to find. I suspect it will inform many of us at all age levels.
