Presidental Campaign - Promises To Keep

The economic turmoil has gained most of the news stories followed by the presidential election. Here is a presidential election story about an issue that has not made the headlines.

Outlined below is summary of the Obama-Biden plan to help people with disabilities.


  • Providing Americans With Disabilities Educational Opportunities.
  • Ending Discrimination and Promoting Equality of Opportunity For People With Disabilities.
  • Increasing Employment Rate of Workers With Disabilities.
  • Supporting Independent, Community-Based Living For Americans With Disabilities.

The republican ticket of McCain-Palin plan appears to cover changes to the health care systems without directly targeting the disabled.

  • John McCain's Vision for Health Care Reform
  • Making Health Insurance Innovative, Portable and Affordable
  • A Specific Plan of Action: Ensuring Care for Higher Risk Patients
  • A Specific Plan of Action: Lowering Health Care Costs
  • Confronting the Long-Term Challenge
  • Setting the Record Straight: Covering Those With Pre-Existing Conditions

Clicking on underlined campaigns will take you directly to their website for more detail. The election is still three weeks away so my suggestion is to review the information if you have not decided how you will vote.

Currently, the Democratic ticket of Obama-Biden appears to be leading the presidential election based on the latest polls. Taking into account the current difficult economic realities that the new president will have to face. It may be difficult for either Democrats or Republicans to implement the programs they campaigned on.

Thank you for the information on where they stand. If they do implament what they are saying, will it really help or make matter worse than before. Some of the trouble that the houseing market is having goes right back to Congress and things that they put in place. So again will it really be better or make matter worse for everyone not just the disabaled.

Dear Learn To Earn,

Thank you for your comments! You are right about congress! They passed the deregulation that put us in this mess!

My concern, due to my CFO background, is the U.S. having the ability to pay for all these commitments. We are passing on these Trillions of dollars in National Debt to our children. Also, in California they are already cutting the budget for the poor and the disabled due to the a severe budget restraints.

Best Regards

Pete Baca

You are so right about being concerned with what congress is doing. How it is going to affect us. You are living in a state that is already cutting things. I think the nation is going to see it next.
