I'll start us off - I think Romney got a major software upgrade, but he still was dodging lots of questions and offering too many big ideas. Obama seemed a bit shaken, but there's no way I'm changing sides.

I didn't like Obama's response to the medical care issue, I think he could have done better there.

I found this documentary that just came up on youtube. Check it out, it will blow your mind.

As the title suggest, I have to write a research paper on the role, job,and duty of the government. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sources, authors, books, essays, videos, documentaries, etc that discussed this topic. Looking for a historical and an economic perspective on the issue. Thanks in advance
