Election 2016 Glossary

I was watching the Democratic debate last week when all of a sudden, I realized I had no freaking clue what the Dodd Frank bill was. I'd heard it peripherally a hundred times before, and here on the screen was Hillary, pulling it swiftly out of her Buzzword Briefcase to back up her dig against Bernie.

Now, I consider myself to be a generally (but not optimally) well informed young lady, so if I don't reeeeally know what Dodd Frank is, there are probably millions of other people who also quietly nod when it comes up at dinner parties.

So I decided to make this cheat sheet of sorts, for my fellow under-informed electorate who could use a quick refresher now and then.

I tried to design it so you can pull it up on your computer or phone as you watch upcoming debates and search as you go. If you notice a term I haven't covered yet, please, leave me a comment below and I'll add it as quickly as possible! This is still a work in progress, and if you have any knowledge you'd like to add, I would be very grateful!
