Working class citizen, your comment is right on the money! We won't butt heads on that one either. Our economy does depend on our trade policies and on our policy in regard to undocumented workers. I'm afraid that, unfortunately neither of the two major candidates will really do anything about those two very important parts of our economy.

Swift, I think we have butted heads in the past, but I sure do agree with your opening statements about the gold standard (if there is any gold left) and the fed reserve. A good Question for the candidates would be what there plan is on undocumented workers. They are a large part of the undermining of this fragile economy. Although with there presents the rich get richer and the poor will have to work for less and less if they want a job. There is a group of suspicious looking workers going through the area now building family dollar stores for us to spend our Americian dollars in Knowing full well those dollars along with many others are headed to china. To bad workers from this area couldn't build a store for a local individual to sell americian made products in.
I was in fifth graded when I learned that the key to a good economy is to have more exports than imports, be ye democrat or republician.

Next question: Which of the two is going to really cut the national debt and deficit, I mean really cut ALL spending across the board?
Third question? Either of them think of just maybe putting our country on the gold standard and allowing Congress to have the Constitutional duty of printing our money?

Here's a question to ask. Which one of the two candidates will audit the Federal Reserve?

They are all in it because they will be taken care of for the rest of their lives after they are done, so it doesn't matter if any of them do anything good or not.

Dexterite had brought up the fact that evangelicals will have a problem with Romney. While that is true because of Romney's chameleon like traits on social issues, he is also a problem with those of us with populist ideology coming from infowars.com/genesis communications. It's going to be hard to convince us to vote for him. i hate to say that, because my GOP friends will vote for him.

Rick maybe you do treat them well maybe you don't, don't blame the republicans for everything, you are just like fox news, you put a political spin on everything. Not everything is political, a majority is plain greed period. As for my billfold, it's fine and my bible's awesome.

Mike
I paid a lot because I work 10 to 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Yes I am doing ok but it is because I work my butt off.
I am in property management, and I deal with a lot of people who are on some kind of government assistance. Not all but in many cases they are on it because it's an easier living than getting a job.
Run an employment ad some time and take a look at the sloppy, tatted up group that shows up. I have a great group of people who work forme, but you wouldn't believe how many I have gone through to find them.
As for the burgers, flipped those too. When I was younger that and a couple of other jobs at the same time to make ends meet.
I have have many employees and treat them all like family. I have repaired cars for them, given bonuses of cash, gas cards and food store cards to help counter the high costs of everything.
The problem is all the money has gone to the top and the republicans want to keep it there. Consult you billfold instead of your bible the next time you vote!

Rick2Rescue, you pay alot because you have alot, stop whining and be thankful for all that you do have. Alot of business owners pay minimum wage while living like fat cats, and they are partly responsible for part of those on welfare. Even if everyone went to college and got a good education, there are only so many good jobs and someone still has to flip your burger that you are too lazy to cook. Not to mention the thousands of other low paying jobs that someone has to fill, just so ceo's and investors can live high on the hog and complain about the taxes they pay to support the people they treat like slaves.
