I know where you're coming, but it sometimes I do think important fiscal issues get glossed over for social issues that while are very important don't always have a real impact on all of our daily lives. Almost like one suffers for the sake of the other (usually fiscal issues as social issues tend to be hot button media circus things), while both should have a time and place. It would be refreshing to shift the national debate away from gay marriage/abortion type issues to how to fund the repair of our crumbling infrastructure/stabilize the cost of living type issues.
