I think that all of the issues being presented in the debate tonight are very important but have to do with different circumstances and timelines. I think the most immediate problem we face today is our economy. While most of the other issues being discussed are fairly new concepts our economy has been in trouble for as many elections as I can remember and no one seems to have any solution to this problem. If the confusion over how to fix our economy continues it will just make it worse and possibly unfixable. Jeb Bush’s proposal for tax cuts is a “proposal to reform the tax code” that will “crack down on hedge fund managers” (CNN). This is now very descriptive but makes it seem like his ideas are centered towards wall street and gives no evidence that they are the real problem. I haven't seen any sources that back up his ideas. His arguments have merit in the fact that they try to accommodate all classes, mostly. Of course some things will just not work for everybody. His arguments dont hold up because they seem very similar to those of our last Bush president who arguably put us in such a bad economic situation. My questions are how realistic are the chances of any of these candidates having any “real” solutions that have not been tried yet.
