With the country in the midst of economic crisis, the Democratic presidential candidates said today they have plans to repair it. Obama is turning his attention to homeowners while Clinton is focusing on a job-retraining program.
The plans for both candidates depend on the billions of tax dollars to aid in the housing crisis and the negative change in the economy.
Obama is asking for a $30 billon relief package for the victims of this crisis, the homeowners. He said, “If we can extend a hand to banks on Wall Street when they get into trouble, we can extend a hand to Americans who are struggling often through no fault of their own
Clinton’s plan in a $2.5 billon job-retraining program. Taking a stab at John McCain, she said, “We need a president who is ready and willing and able to answer that call. It seems like if the phone were ringing, he would just let it ring. And ring and ring” McCain responded by saying “there is a tendency for liberals to seek big government programs that sock it to American taxpayers while failing to solve the very real problems we face.”
The candidates continue to campaign. Clinton is off to Indiana while Obama heads out on a bus tour across the state of Pennsylvania.
