When you've lived through something like Sandy, how do you balance the need to emotionally recover with the need to get back some sense of normalcy sense. A lot of people are struggling with that question right now.
 
"You can't describe it in words, because there is nothing, nothing, all you see is burnt out rubble 1, that's it, burnt out rubble."
 
"You know, there is no words to put on what happened here, but we, we got to start over and bring back this community."
 
"You take a lot of stuff for granted, I think until you get to this point, and then now it's, you just want to get back to it, you know, you want to everything back that you complained about a week ago."
 
"I just want to get back in there, get the kids back to school, and things like that, get our life back."

Some folks like Joshua had a different take, the biggest issue for him, is deficit 4 reductions. As large deficit could lead to a default on our debt.
 
Jabari also knows the debts, saying," new way to try to fix it might not help."
 
Austin writes," It's the high price of fuel, I think that if the price of gas were lower, more people would have jobs."
 
And Brittany feels that Obama and Romney should talk more about what will happen when schools have to fire teachers because the school is low on money.
 
People who think jobs are the number.1 election issue might focus on a government report that comes out every month, that updates the national umemployment rate, and says how many jobs were added the month before. The latest numbers come out today, and they are the last ones coming out before Tuesday's election. You can be sure the presiential candidates will be talking about this report and hoping it helps them gain some support on Tuesday.
 
We've looked at governor Romney and president Obama's economic policies earlier this week. Today, as we wrap our series on the candidates position, we are focusing on foreign policy. That covers a lot of issue, so we are going to cover two of them today.
First one, the war in Afghanistan. President Obama has announced the plan that would have US combat troops out of Afghanistan by 2014. Governor Romney had said he supports gradually pulling American forces out of Afghanistan, but he's criticized the president for announcing the time table.
 
Next up, Iran. When it comes that country's controversial nuclear program, the US presidential candidates share a lot of the same basic ideas. Neither one wants Iran to be able to develop a nuclear weapon, both supports the idea of using sanctions, punishments against Iran, and neither one has ruled out the idea of using military force against Iran.
