I appreciate the conversation.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Don&#039;t you see the issue with McCain&#039;s version of the GI Bill?  In order to pay for 4 years of college you have to give the military 12 years of service. 12.  Did you get that.  In trade for 4 years of college you have to give 12 years of your life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Does that sound remotely fair to you?  If that individual was hurt in the military and could not serve, or was discharged or killed, would they still qualify for that plan?  I don&#039;t think so.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Logging off all.  Catch you tomorrow.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Anonymous.  I appreciate the conversation.</p><p>Don&#8217;t you see the issue with McCain&#8217;s version of the GI Bill?

Fortunately, McCain would expand it further while cutting taxes for the rich, as well as cutting social programs like social security and medicare, at a time when there are millions of people who don&#039;t have insurance. More &quot;goodies&quot; for the average American.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;3. The great part about McCain&#039;s foreign policy is not only would he want us to see through an ephemeral  &quot;commitment&quot; Iraq for a hundred years or more, but that he&#039;s very eager to make other such commitments elsewhere, like in Iran. More war for everybody.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;4. If you&#039;re not already excited about McCain&#039;s mo&#039; war  platform, consider that another one of the things he doesn&#039;t want to fund is a GI Bill that would actually make it possible for veterans to pay for higher education. The WWII era GI bill was instrumental in creating a middle class, (especially in the black community) but in McCain&#039;s America, who needs one? It might keep people from reenlisting to fight in the long list of endless wars he wants to start.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;5. Any responsible stewardship of the federal budget will require raising taxes. Personally, I think the people who have been doing fantastically well over the past few years should be the ones to help out. Of course, McCain doesn&#039;t feel that way, maybe because to him &quot;average american&quot; means someone making more than 200 grand a year.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1.McCain&#8217;s health care plan is basically for people who have no preexisting conditions, in short, it would make health care cheaper for those who don&#8217;t need it.

You can also review Barack&#039;s videos on youtube.  He has been talking about his plans in detail for over 15 months.  You can access videos at http://youtube.com/user/BarackObamadotcom.  He goes into detail on most of the issues. Check out the town hall sessions.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To get a better understanding of Obama, I recommend you read his books -- 1) The Audicity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream and 2) Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.  You borrow them from your local library.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Blessings</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi D &#8211; if the issues summary was not enough for you, download the Blueprint for Change document.
