Hillary vs. Obama on Higher Education
Overview of Hillary's policy on higher education vs. Obama's on NoSlaves.com blog. Comparison/contrast.

One of the things that bothers me is just how many people have no clue on what their policy positions are and of course the MSM
claims they are "both the same" and not by a long shot are they are the same on most policy.

Hillary looks better to me on Higher Education than Obama, although Obama is certainly good with the tax credit.

See for yourself and feel free to pass around. There is a comparison contrast on trade positions that was really shocking to me.
Hillary is better overall on trade policy (if you're a Progressive) than Obama is.

They both are still horrific on enabling global labor arbitrage (H-1B, L-1 guest worker Visas and so forth) which you might write their campaigns and ask them to co-sponsor Dick Durbin's S.1035 H-1B, L-1 Visa reform bill.

Happy reading.

oops on www.economicpopulist.org is some stuff about Obama's economic advisers, additional policy, no Hillary in those posts.

1. I find Barack delivers more on his word so I would favour Barack's plan.

4. Got an example?
I'd say Clinton is the one with a much longer record of delivering success.

5. That is a belief based on hope and aided by Obama having almost no record

The only major promise Obama has ever made was that he would serve his full senate term before running for president...Hillary made the same promise and kept it.

2. In an ideal world...
I hope whoever is the nominee, freed from making distinctions between themself and the other candidates, will take an honest look at the best aspects which have come forward. Great ideas have been put forth by all the Democratic candidates, and it would be a shame to have them get "lost". No good idea left behind! (Can we start a movement on this?)

6. that's what you are voting for
are these policy ideas. Some may bubble up into an administration but for the most part they will be lost. Its bad enough to get any candidate to deliver on what they say they will.

7. you're welcome
I'm not a huge fan of either but in my issue, H-1B guest worker Visas, they are both bought and paid for.
