(Bloomberg) -- It's the economy again, stupid.
The presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has been dominated by debate over job creation, retirement, and other tenets of economic security, along with looming questions over race in America and threats from abroad.
The future of Social Security makes up two of the top 10 crowdsourced and crowd-voted questions the public wanted answered in the second presidential debate. The questions on the Open Debate Coalition's website are pointed:
-
Do you support expanding, and not cutting, Social Security's modest benefits?
-
Social Security is not an entitlement or a handout, how are you going to save it?
-
What's your plan to target the large public health crisis: Alzheimer's disease?
Jobs, taxes, child care, and health care are also among the topics people would like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to address.
