These are basic questions that any candidate should be willing to answer. Saying "I will provide health care for all Americans" is not an answer to the question of how will you provide health care, how will you pay for it. These candidates are full of political rhetoric and feel good statements. They will have to answer these and many more questions to get my vote. And if they don't and you vote for them because they sound nice, shame on you. You will get what you deserve. Unfortunately I will have to share that pain as well. This is a VERY intelligent discussion and to think it is not is being naive and accepting them on blind faith. Both candidates should be willing to answer these questions and many more. And English has every right to ask them and expect answers.
