1. Financial Situation
This isn't something that was unforseeable, I've been worried about this since early 2007 and I'm behind the curve for a good number of people. The next administration has to have a serious understanding of what is driving this and try to be pragmatic as possible to make it better. I know this isn't an easy fix and I don't expect either man's administration to be able to make it go away. Handle it the best way though, we'll get out of it sooner or at least with less crippling losses.

2. Balanced Budget
Any steps are good, but as a young person I want some focus on balancing the budget and paying off some of our debt. If this continues, my generation and my children's are going to be stuck paying off the bill. At least if we get to work on it now, hopefully it won't be as bad. I'm not expecting either one of them to, it's just a question of who will do a better job with it.

3. Energy
Energy independance is a pipe dream, but there is a great need to restructure the way we power the country. Wind farms, solar farms (and soon panels on roofs), nuclear, coal, and biodesiel should all be on the table and implimented as possible.
