Do you believe the national deficit should be the top issue in the 2008 election?

Answer 1

It should be, but it won't be...
because politicians don't like to talk about issues that are of real importance to our country.
They will focus on the flaws of their political opponents; flag-burning; gay marriage; abortion; right-to-die; and what color to repaint the White House.
They will NOT discuss: their own flaws and shortcomings; their own incompetence; the corrupted two-party political system that no longer allows voters any real choice; an incorrigible, greedy, contemptible, corrupt U.S. Congress; an unconstitutional and illegal war in Iraq that should be abandoned; a pompous and arrogant judicial system that is anything but fair; a government bureaucracy that is out of control; waste and fraudulent spending within all agencies of government; the perilously dangerous federal debt which will put America in bankruptcy sooner than later; illicit pork-barrel spending and the 'let's make a deal' mentality in Congress; the need for term limits for all elected officials; corporate welfare; white collar crime; all the child molesters, pedophiles, prescription-drug abusers, liars, wife beaters, homosexuals, and even murderers in Congress.

Answer 2

It *should* be. Young people (16 to 26) should be *particularly* concerned as they are the ones who get to pay back the money (with their taxes) that we're spending today. In other words, Bush's "tax cuts" are essentially a tax increase passed on to the next generation.

But unfortunately, the Middle East is *completely* unravelling. Civil war in Iraq betwen Sunnis and Shiites, Iran and Syria ready to jump in pick up the pieces, Kurds wanting to form a new Kurdistan, with possible spillover into a Kurdish war in Turkey, civil war in Lebanon, and things going so cozy between Israel and the Palestinians.

This Administration is doing such a *heckuva* job in the middle east, the next president will be inheriting a *nightmare*.

Healthcare and coverage is a situation, many human beings won't be able to have adequate money coverage, fantastically low earnings familes. 5, the conflict, it takes 10 billion in line with month to stay in Iraq. The politics in Washing ton needs to be fixed and the midsection classification households needs to get a ruin from paying better taxes than the wealthy.
