I don't get it

Okay, I get that there is a presidential election right around the corner. I get that becoming president is a huge step for one of the two leading candidates, however I don't get why that gives them the right, or the feeling that it is okay for the presidential race to take precedence over their current jobs. I'm watching the news commentators argue back and forth about why the campaign and the debates should continue as scheduled, however I also hear those same commentators talk about the horrible state of our economy and how Washington DC is doing little or nothing to help.

Well forgive my lack of understanding, but shouldn't people be worried that some of the largest finanical institutions are inches away from falling flat? I see a domino effect happening soon after. I don't want so much of my tax dollars going towards fixing a bank's problems. However I do know that there is a solution out there somewhere. I also know that the country of Georgia cut taxes across the board and they pulled out of their economic problems.

But throughout all this, people seem to have lost sight of the fact that as a country we are spiraling down into another depression and those we put in charge are twitting their thumbs and arguing over should we or shouldn't we continue to campaign. Or even better they won't even sit down to discuss options because A.) There is an election a few weeks away. B.) It is Friday.

Well thanks for listening to my rant. I hope that this is fixed soon, or at least people are going to start talking.
