Most of the comments I've seen on the debate start at "ewwwwwwwww" and go south from there. It would appear that there are only losers....
Three Hundred plus million people in this country and those two are the best we can come up with?

The biggest losers in last night's debate are we the people. Oligarchs disgust me.
Perhaps we just need to take a wrecking ball not to our Constitution, but to the political process. Thing is, its just so difficult to change things now in order "to form a more perfect Union".
Yeah, I'm definitely not getting into the mess of the candidates themselves. My concerns start at the top of the world economy (the World Bank, IMF and BIS). National politics, in any country, are inconsequential to me and will probably continue to be until we sort the world's financial mess out.
what evidence do you have to support the idea that the world economy (any economy) can be managed?
That's what the World Bank, the IMF and BIS do.
I found it interesting that it looks like they are going to go ahead with "expanding the use" of special drawing rights (SDR), whatever "expanding its use" actually means. They're adding China's currency to the SDR basket in what, a month or two, which will most likely help stabilize things given China's influence in the world economy now - as long as China plays nice, of course.
Additionally, banks in the United States (from the Federal Reserve all the way down to the local banks) will be running on Basel Level III regulations soon (from the BIS) so clearly they are being managed. How well are they being managed? Well, that's left to be determined by history.
The BIS has told central banks to shape up for years now, but they have not complied. They seem to be on the road to complying now given that one by one they are becoming insolvent.
It also helps that there are decentralized currencies popping up all over the place, like Bitcoin and Steem that are based upon transparency due to the definition and nature of what a blockchain is.
