This Weeks Update

Top Five Issues of this past week:

1 - The Economy - this is still a very important issue that I don't feel will be going anywhere for awhile. A lot of the election will be solely based on the economy and who can fix it.

2 - Energy Spending - Energy spending came out of nowhere. I feel that, just like the economy, energy spending will be very important with the increased number of environmentalists.

3 - Foreign Policy - Foreign Policies are always an important issue. If we don't have a good foreign policy, we have to live our life in fear. I agree that this is a very important issue, but I don't think it should be in the top two.

4 - Bailout Deal - I don't know very much about this issue. I feel that I should because it has been all over the news and my source. All I do know is that both candidates feel that there should follow through with the bailout plan. I don't really know where the 700 billion dollars, but if it gets us out of the depression, do what it takes.

5 - Battle on Spending, Taxes - The taxes issue is very important as well as the spending issue. There is a 700 billion dollar projection to get the economy out of the depression. Which means that costs for other things will be cut. This changes everything that both candidates were saying they were going to do. This puts a whole new look to this election.
