Top Five Domestic Issues on which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama Disagree
Monday, January 28th, 2008
With the Super-Tuesday primaries contest only a week away, there are more than differences of leadership style and personality between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The top Democratic candidates to the presidential nomination have actual disagreements on five key domestic issues:
- Universal healthcare: universal coverage for all Americans, mandatory coverage for all Americans, drugs reimportation, means-tested tax credits for healthcare insurance, health insurance for small business employees, access to the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program;
- Immigration: support for driving licenses for undocumented immigrants, scope of earned legalization program;
- Home ownership: remedies to the subprimes crisis;
- Retirement: Raising or eliminating the cap on Social Security taxable income to prevent benefit cuts for future retirees, levying Social Security taxes on income revenues higher than $200,000/year;
- Government accountability and transparency: accepting or refusing lobby money to fund his or her campaign.
