In an article by the Tacoma Morning News Tribune (McClatchy Newspapers and the Associated Press) the standing on various issues including Defense, Veterans, Environment, Energy, Education, and Healthcare are compared. I did a little research, and some math, and come up with the following conservative figures based on the article.
|
Program |
Obama |
McCain |
| Grow Military (total x min mo. salary x 36 mo.) |
$4,968,000,000 |
|
| "Climate Friendly" energy program (per year) |
$150,000,000,000 |
|
| Energy Tax Credit ($1000 x total families in US) |
$78,425,000,000 |
|
| Improve Battery Technology Prize |
$300,000,000 |
|
| Universal Pre-Kindergarten (per year) |
$18,000,000,000 |
|
| College Community Service Tax Credit (4000 x total college students x 10%) |
$8,200,000,000 |
|
| Universal Medical Program (per year) |
$65,000,000,000 |
|
| Total |
$324,593,000,000 |
$300,000,000 |
As you can see, Obama’s list of spending would be $324.6 BILLION, vs. McCain’s $300 Million. We all know that Congress controls the budget, but you can bet with a Democrat majority in both House and Senate, and a Democrat President, you’re only seeing the beginning of another huge social (socialist) spending spree.
