Here's The Real Issue
I have been paying close attention to the presidential campaign and listening to what W and John Kerry consider important. This is not to say thatÊwhat they're talking about - terrorism, economy, jobs, war, health care - isn't important. But I think there's an issue that is more important that they're not talking about. Frankly, it tops terrorism as my No.1 concern.I know that terrorism is bad.I know it is important that we remain safe. But honestly, my risk of succumbing to terrorism runs in the same range of odds as my winning the U.S.Open.Frankly, I probably have a better shot at the Open. And I have a job and health insurance.I know lots of people don't have those things and I think it's important to help people who are truly in need. But the one thing that really concerns me - the thing that seems most ominous to me - is the impending U.S.debt disaster. And I can't believe politicians ignore it the way they do.
