You've got to give John Edwards some credit. Unlike most of the presidential candidates of both parties, he's actually proposing some very specific economic policies--and even putting some price tags on them. (Hint to GOP candidates debating tonight in South Carolina.) Universal healthcare? Somewhere between $90 billion and $120 billion a year. Then there's his $20 billion spending program to end poverty. And his $13 billion spending program to revamp American energy use.
