That million is chump change compared to the 700 BILLION, maybe a TRILLION when all is said and done that taxpayers will have to pay out.
I'm sorry, but I don't know what a college's $1 million to host this debate has to do with taxpayers billions that will be used to bail out the economy. And this sounds like you're suggesting these two senators are the be all and end all of the fate of the economy. I'm rather accused by these assertions. They don't add up. They aren't even a part of the same formula.

Sorry, saving our economy and doing their jobs is the most important task they have right now. THESE MEN WANT TO BE OUR LEADER..... THEN THEY NEED TO SHOW FUCKING LEADERSHIP.
So, you want them to wait a few months before holding a debate? When will be an opportune time to hold it? After there's a plan? Their plan? Will these two senators come up with their own plan? Will they spearhead a plan? Probably not.

The debate should go on. The American people need it. They need to know how each of these potential presidents would handle the "fucking" economy over the next four to eight years. Or is voting to put someone in such a powerful position meant to be a shot in the dark?

I think we have very different ideas of what leadership is.
