3. John Edwards at 6%. He is equal to Kucinich. Can't believe
Ron Paul is way ahead in this poll.

4. No one person can fix this economy.
Not one of our candidates or the Republicans. This economy is badly damaged by over seven years of abuse.
Our candidates can offer band aids, but that is about it. The debt is approaching 10 trillion, our balance of
trade deficits are unprecedented. Our obligations to Medicare and SS are staggering. Our infrastructure is crumbling.
Our jobs are going to Asia. Our inter cities are collapsing as is the dollar. And we are dependent on foreign oil.

Any one who promises they can fix this mess is either lying or in denial. Under the very best circumstances, it will
take decades to unravel our broken economy. And that does not even factor in the impacts of climate crisis and
devastating weather events or terrorist strikes. Certainly, the Republicans are responsible for much of this. Clinton
did have eight years to get under the engine and start to work on these challenges, but he mostly chose to ride the
way of the 90's boom.

Now we are left with the wreckage. No one really knows what to do.
