Like i said the bain attacks fall flat for me.  I would love if the candidates would actually debate the merits and failures of their policy positions, but i dont think either candidate really wants that.  I mean, lets be honest, neither one of the candidates have Been very forthcoming on what they actual plan to do, this election is why the other candidate sucks.  As an independent, im wishing i had another option.

Reality is that I am not sure anyone knows what to do.  You do have the more government spending on projects on the Democratic side.  The GOP is rolling out the same old "need more tax cuts and cut regulations".  It is the same tune, but able to have them speak differently?  Well, they just don't know.  I understand that the federal department in charge of trying to increase employment is reorganizing itself into a think tank to figure out what to do.

In my case, I am hoping I get a contract assignment coming through to do IT support from home.  I am looking at even lower rates than I did in 2004-2005 for this.  But, it is what it is.  So, it isn't just jobs, it is maintaining the standard of living.

The focus on the attacks and the issue is the role of government and total faith in markets.  For those who believe that letting business do its own thing means more for everyone, it is a non-issue.  But, for others, it is the issue of the role of government here.  Can government do anything or is markets alone sufficient?  The GOP solution is nothing by government, the Democrats is programs.  And neither seems to be the answer actually.
