I'm John Bachelor. Elizabeth Pek is here. She has a new column up at Fox News about

the anticipation of the debate within a few hours between two presidents.

To my certainty, two presidents have never debated head to head.

This is unusual.

It didn't happen in 1912 when it could have because they didn't do

television debates in 1912. That was Teddy Roosevelt versus Mr Taft. However, Liz

questions for the presidents, especially turning on the quandary of

federal spending. Can you pose one to either candidate or both? Thank you.

Well, good question. i think in the case of

joe Biden

uh... you know you could ask him why he continues to think that paying off student

loan debt is a good idea when it simply is

going to add to the budget very substantially according to the CBO I think the

CBO attributed something like a 27% increase in the deficit this year to exactly that, the paying

off of student debts.

And you know, what's he going to do to bring down this spending number which is

creating all this inflation I think that's a very good question yes and

anticipating the Mr Trump's question mr. Trump's question could be, you know, if you really ensure that we're going to continue

the low tax rates on corporations, can you make, can you be positive that that has a positive effect

on the economy and that revenues are not lost thereby and frankly the answer to that is

yes because corporate tax revenues have gone up since those

2017 tax cuts even though the left continues to complain about them.
