Big Dig: Spitzer said that Faso’s tax cut plan was an example of Bushian “voodoo economics.”

Pro-choice: Spitzer, who takes time to note that abortions should be a “last resort,” said he believes that the decision ought to be a woman’s alone.

Death penalty: Spitzer supports the death penalty only for terrorists and cop killers.

Healthcare:Spitzer said that universal healthcare could actually lower costs because patients who had insurance would be treated preventatively instead of in the emergency room. However, his campaign reiterated that this “won’t happen overnight.”

Since Spitzer referred to side-supply economics as a possessive of George Bush, it is not The Sun's fault for reporting it as "Bushian 'voodoo economics.'" However, I do not understand if this was Spitzer's mistake or our misinterpretation of his comment to Faso, BUT side-supply economics is not attributed to George Bush. Bush coined the term, but he was criticizing Reagan's economic philosophy when the two of them were running against each other. Like I said, I do not know if this is our mistake or Spitzer's, but I just wanted to call attention to it.
