Romney's Platform vs. Obama's Platform

The following are only two of the hottest topics in this election from Romney's view

Education

          - As president, Mitt Romney will pursue genuine education reform that puts the interests of parents and students ahead of special interests and provides a chance for every child. He will take the unprecedented step of tying federal funds directly to dramatic reforms that expand parental choice, invest in innovation, and reward teachers for their results instead of their tenure. These policies will equip state leaders to achieve the change that can only come from commitment and action at the local level. He will also ensure that students have diverse and affordable options for higher education to give them the skills they need to succeed after graduation and that, when they graduate, they can find jobs that provide a rewarding return on their educational investment.

Healthcare

          - On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.

          - In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government’s role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition.

The following are the same two topics from Obama's view

Education

          - By doubling funding for Pell Grants and establishing a college tax credit, President Obama is putting higher education within reach for millions more Americans.

     Rewarding responsible students can make decisions based on career goals instead of tuition fees.
     Keeping good teachers in the classroom.
     Providing pathways to good jobs by supporting community colleges and career-training programs.
     Ensuring a good future for veterans by making sure Military men and women and their families can recieve a college education and find work after returning from service.

Healthcare

          - Increase access and affordability

     End insurance company abuse by not allowing them to deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
     Strengthen Medicare by providing FREE preventive care for women and children.
     Putting women in charge of their coverage by no longer allowing companies to charge women MORE for the same coverage a man recieves.


There are many more issues between these two candidates. But between just these two topics, who do you trust for your and your family's futures?
