Parents across the country will spend this year worrying about putting their children through college. Those that have junior or senior level students are looking at college tuition costs, room and board and all the extra expenses of having a child in college. Teresa, a single mom in Burlington, Vermont, spends her time wondering if her son will be able to go to college. As an unemployed American she is one of many who can't afford the thousands of dollars that a higher education costs. In a YouTube video, she explains her story and why she is supporting Barack Obama.
Barack will make college affordable for all Americans by creating a new American Opportunity Tax Credit. This universal and fully refundable credit will ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students. The recipient of the tax credit will participate in community service - giving back to get ahead.Barack will also streamline the financial aid process by eliminating the current federal financial aid application and enabling families to apply simply by checking a box on their tax form, authorizing their tax information to be used, and eliminating the need for a separate application. That is the change that ordinary Americans need.Find out where John McCain really stands on education by visiting JohnMcCainRecord.com today.
