I wasn't going to watch the debates. I am so disgusted by politics at this point, I don't even watch the news anymore.
Eric reminded me that it was my responsibility to watch the debates. And he was right.
But I sit here and listen to both candidates talk about the war(s) and foreign policy. And what I don't understand is two things:
One: Why does the US continuously feels reponsible for "rebuilding (country X's) economy.
We pour billions of dollars into rebuilding the economies of countries that don't like us very much. Not that we have given them any reason to lately, but that's another subject. But why send billions into other countries when we borrow money from China (!) to keep our country running.
Two: Why, when we are in an economic crisis, so little was mentioned about it in the debates.
Bottom line- I wish I had watched more Tim Russert. He made everything easier to understand. He cut through the bullshit.
I hope someone steps up to the white board soon.
