McCain and Obama: Viewing the Issues

Below are 3 ways in which Obama and McCain believe they can solve Americas problems. Pick which person's ideas that you believe would set America on the right track. A or B, and then tell me why you picked that letter.


Climate change


A. Says climate change is real and devastating. Says US should consider joining with every other nation in the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, if China and India join in.

B. Wants an 80% cut in US greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Wants US to lead global effort to combat climate change. Would invest $150bn over 10 years in clean energy.

Healthcare

A. Has highlighted his record on supporting health care for military veterans. Favours tax incentives to encourage people to get personal health insurance.

B. Backs universal coverage but would not make insurance compulsory, except for children. Subsidies would be provided to make cover more affordable and insurers would be unable to refuse coverage because of pre-existing conditions.

Illegal immigration

A. Co-sponsor of bill which offered an amnesty to illegal immigrants as well as tougher border controls. Says undocumented workers already in the US should be put on path to citizenship.

B. Wants US-Mexico border better policed and backs stricter penalties for employers who hire undocumented workers. Argues that giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship is not an amnesty if they pay a fine

I agree more with A because its more consent and peaceful. B is not really thinking about the people its more less about the economy, but little do they know the people make up the economy.

i choose ( a ) because he is thinkin bout changing the US as soon as possiable. ( B ) is trying to change the US by 2050. i think that is too long for a change. i think ( a ) has a better game plan for a messed up country. But if the country was functioning good already i wud pick ( B )

Well I pick illegal immigration number A,because I think that if Mccain or obama really wants to change the u.s. For better they should start by helping the immigrants by putting them in a path so they can become citizens so that they can be able to work with out having to hide from immigration, by doing this they would more support of the immigrants.

CLIMATE CHANGE- I agree with (a) because i believe that joining as allies with other countries for an important cause, such as the idea of the reduction of global warming, is the first step to peice and unity of all nations. :)
HEALTHCARE- i strongly agree with (b) because children's health is being recognized which is great because they are the future to our world. We have to keep them alive for now.:)
ILLIGAL IMMIGRANTS- i agree with (a) because i think that illegal immigrants in the United States should be given a second chance at a "better life", and should be offered (free) citizenship. Afterall, the settlers from Europe and all thoses who were not originally from the Americas were illegal immigrants to the Native Americans, and they got to stay.

I choose A because it has more details to it and it sounds much better than B, plus A sounds much easy and peacefully for the people.
