John McCain on the education

John McCain supports better education. This is from his website.


John McCain believes American education must be worthy of the promise we make to our children and ourselves. He understands that we are a nation committed to equal opportunity, and there is no equal opportunity without equal access to excellent education.
He wants to give parents choice in schools so their children can go to a good school. He also wants to reward good schools and penalize bad schools. He wants to give schools the chance to educate their students the best way possible and give them the money to do that.

He wants to have the same standards for every student at every school instead of some high standards for some kids and low ones for other kids. Because that way isn't fair to the kids at all.

You should go read all of it.

Pork Bills

John McCain votes against lots of bad things. One thing he wants to vote against is a pork bill. A pork bill benefits only a little bit of people but everyone has to pay for it. It started in 1817 when the bonus bill was made to build a highway linking the East and South of the United States to its Western frontier. And they still do it. The congress recently spent $2 million to put sand on the beach at Topsail Beach. Another time they spent $50,000 for the sesquicentennial celebration in Morehead City.

When McCain is president we will no longer have to worry about pork bills. Personally I think pork bills are wrong and therefore should be banned. I bet McCain feels the same way.

John McCain likes families

Remember when I told you John McCain liked families a lot? Well it's really true. And not just cause he has more kids than that other guy either. John McCain likes families and wants to do things to help them.

This is from his website. I'm still looking at his site. But this is what he says about helping families:

He will help Americans hurting from high prices.
He believes we should send a strong message to world markets that we will be using less of their stuff and more of our own so they should prepare for it. It's nice of him to warn them about that so they can get ready for it to happen.
His work will make the dollar worth more. It will still be a dollar but when other people in other places want to exchange it for their money, it will take more of their money to trade.

This will make American's money last long and worth more. That means they can buy more stuff for less money again. Which is really good.

It's like if you had 1 dollar now, you could only buy one piece of candy maybe a Hersheys bar or whatever you like. But with his plan that dollar could buy you more stuff probably two Hersheys bars. Families need that cause it takes a lot of dollars to buy everything they need and it would be nice to get more.
