Both candidates did this. Do you think presidents write their own speeches? It is well known Bush is a terrible public speaker. This is not something to hold against him - I'm not putting him on the same league at all, but Jefferson was also a terrible public speaker and had people read his speeches for him.


I was actually going to edit that in my original post.
Yes, I do know that they both had their responces scripted, hell, both of them nkew the questions 2 weeks BEFORE the debate. The main thing is that I did not see Kerry look at his "prepared speach" at all. This, to me, makes it seem as if Kerry took a little more time or was a little more educated on the topics ("a little" HA!).

What is the National Deficit? What does it affect?

It is basicly the debt of America (we owe money to a LOT of contries). When Clinton was President, We had a surplus (we were taking in more than we were spending, thus lowering the debt). Once Bush came to power the nation decented into one of the biggest debts on record. Some of the debt is due to 9/11 but the majority of it comes from the ingenious (sarcasm) ideals of the republican party; Lower taxes for the people so they will have more money to spend and thus it will speed up the economy. Thier ideal has never proved to work yet they continue to try and impliment it.
