Obama also plans to invest $25 million in the states in order to prevent cuts in health, education, housing, heating assistance, and state and local tax increases such as property taxes, tolls, and fees. He also plans to invest $25 million to prevent cutbacks in bridge and road repairs, as well as school repair funds in order to prevent one million Americans from losing their jobs.
McCain believes small business and spending control are the keys to stimulating the economy. He plans to lower individual tax rates to small business and minimizing expensive mandates such as health insurance and pro-union initiatives. McCain will also enhance international competitiveness by reducing corporate tax rates and the prevention of outsourcing jobs.
According to JohnMcCain.com, McCain's comprehensive spending controls will institute broad reforms to control US spending. Under his administration, all savings from the Iraq and Afghanistan operations would go into a deficit reduction plan to reduce the national deficit. Also, a spending pause will be implemented for a year in order to more effectively balance the Nation's budget and review government spending.
Another paramount issue is the environment, which is a matter comprised of many relatively smaller, more manageable issues. These days, nevertheless, talking about environmental issues often equates to (1) global warming and (2) the price of oil (and gas) fluctuating. Many students are going green in response to panicked reports of impending, indefinite discomfort. Not surprisingly, both candidates have adopted clear stances on environmental issues.
McCain will expand domestic oil exploration in efforts to lessen the dependency of foreign oil and help save Americans money on gas. He supports drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf to save the US billions of dollars a year in buying foreign energy. This will help reduce the trade deficit-41% of which derives from oil imports. He also supports a summer gas tax holiday that would temporarily suspend the 18.4 cents gas tax and 24.4 cents diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Also, the 54 cents per gallon tax on sugar-based ethanol will be repealed to increase competition and further saving money at the pump.
