	I listened to the first 1/3 of the debate and saw the
remainder on TV. I thought that Mondale looked very strong.
Though both of them danced around questions(these are politicians
we're talking about), Mondale seemed more direct. Reagan's under-
standing of economics is just amazing. Imagine me thinking that
the deficit had something to do with interest rates. How stupid
of me. 
	I don't like the idea of more taxes for the middle
class. I think we pay quite our share now. I just hope Mondale can
manage to keep his promise on not raising taxes to those of us
that pay 30% of our salary as it is. 
	Someone has to force those leaders in Washington that we
don't want them spending all our hard earned cash on their little
pork barrels. This is the only way to cut the deficit. And I don't
think a President is in the position to do much about that problem.
	I'm looking forward to the next debate. In a lot of ways
I think that domestic issues are more important to the average
American than foreign policy. We tend to be very concerned about
what happnens to our pocketbook. If that's in good shape, we can
worry about other things.
