The Presidential Debate

                     I have to say that this presidential debate is the determining factor of who is going to win the election. It began with Shruti asking the questions again. The first question was about the economy. Kyle Norton went first and stated that he wanted to balance the budget, continue medicaid but stop medicare, pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Next Bright stated that wants to raise the age for social security and pass the budget stating. He also discussed marijuana stating, " We can't force states to make marijuana legal!" Next was foreign policy. To be surprised their policies were almost exactly the same. Both stated that the U.S. should be in Libya only if US lives are at risk. Kyle stated that the UN is vital to world peace. Next the topic was about immigration. Kyle started by saying that his plan will be a two fold plan. He wants to loosen restriction and help people that are already here stating that he supports the Dream Act. Next was Bright, and again they both agreed with each other. He stated that he supports the Dream Act. The next topic is taxes. Andrew Bright said that there should be tax cuts for all Americans and he wants to support small businesses. Also corporate taxes must come down. Again Kyle Norton agreed with Mr.Bright. He states that he wanted to decrease taxes for all Americans and create more jobs. Next Shruti asked how the two candidates were different then their party predecessors. Andrew Bright stated that he was not Bush and that he was Andrew. Next Kyle said that he was "a different type of Democrat". He said that he was fiscally conservative and will provide actual change."
                   Overall the debate was very sad. When I asked the candidates if they want to regulate or deregulate the banks, they both simultaneously stated Deregulation! That is when Mr. Hix stated what all of us were thinking, "Are we voting for the same guy?" It was true, they were exact copies of each other. I don't believe there were differences between them. This definitely changed my vote to undecided because I didn't agree with either of them. I guess we have to see who wins.
