I think the debt that's being referenced is the national debt that's piling up.

Community awareness and helping hands is a very socialist mentality.

Ok so people think we need to use taxes to help the national debt, and people who can't afford food, healthcare or housing and can't find a job can just die? I highly doubt any democrat forgets about the national debt. The difference is we're not willing to leave people behind to fix it.

So Romney's plan of cutting taxes for all and increasing military spending by 2 trillion dollars made you feel comfortable?

[AdrianneIsabel]

God forbid we tax the rich, especially when the super rich economic brainiacs have said they would be willing to pay and realize it is the requirement to help the situation.

Naw, lets tax those who are barely making do, excellent choice!

His plan was cutting taxes for all about half the time. He also said multiple times his plan was NOT to cut taxes. If I can't trust the man to tell me which it is in that aspect, I'm not trusting him to run our country.

This makes sense, I thought you meant personal debt I don't think Obama's policies necessarily HAVE to make our dollar worth less, but something definitely will need to be done to prevent that from happening. Hopefully our government as a whole, not just Obama, can pull together and make that happen.

Sad we really did have to choose the less of two evils.

WHOA WHOA WHOA. are you honestly saying that I think people who can't find a job should just die?

WOW. OK then with that I can see there is really not any meaningful discussion going on here

I wish we were back to communities and the individual STATES taking care of each other instead of looking to the FEDERAL government to take care of everyone. THAT is not the federal governments job

[Fran27]

I can agree with that. But then what happens when a state runs out of money and can't fund that stuff anymore? We all know what it's like in public schools right now.

Oh no... if she has a personal debt like that by the time she reaches adult hood then I have failed in raising her to be a responsible adult... especially if it's credit card debt. I learned my lesson on that the hardway lol

I totally agree with the bolded part.
