Education

The Romney-Ryan education plan? Shop around, borrow money from your parents.

The Romney-Ryan plan would:

• -Slash Pell Grants for nearly 10 million students
• -Cut $10,000 college tax credits

Mitt Romney also hiked fees at state MA colleges by 63% as governor. "Shop around"? Students can't afford Mitt Romney.

Four years ago Barack Obama promised to stand with teachers.

President Obama: "I won't just talk about how great teachers are I will reward them for their greatness. We're going to pay our teachers more money. We're going to give them more support."

It meant a great deal to Jess Montejano, a second generation Mexican American, that President Obama supported students with legislation like the American Opportunity Tax Credit. Because of this tax credit, Jess was able to receive an extra $1000 when he filed his 2009 taxes. With this extra financial support, he was able to pay his bills and focus more on his studies.

Para Jess Montejano, un mexicano-americano de segunda generación, el apoyo del Presidente Obama para los estudiantes a través de leyes como el Crédito de Impuestos de Oportunidad Americana significa mucho. Gracias a este crédito de impuestos, Jess recibió $1000 adicionales cuando declaró sus impuestos en 2009.

President Obama ended his two-day tour of Ohio and Nevada with a grassroots event in Las Vegas. President Obama discussed the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions of how to grow the economy, create middle-class jobs, pay down the debt and invest in quality, affordable education.

Kevin: "Some of our children's greatest experiences have been in the smaller classrooms."

Voiceover: "But Mitt Romney says classroom sizes don't matter and he supports Paul Ryan's budget which could cut education by 20%."

Kevin: "You can't do this by shoving thirty, thirty-five people in a class and just teaching to some test."

Voiceover: "Mitt Romney on how to pay for college and start a business..."

Mitt Romney: "Take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents'"

Voiceover: "Hope they can afford it."

"Romney's plans could cut college aid for nearly ten million students and eliminate the tax deduction for college tuition."

Con las elecciones acercándose los riesgos nunca han sido más altos para el pueblo estadounidense y para la comunidad hispana en particular.

Esta elección se trata de quien esta a tu lado y de que lado vas ha estar tu. Para la comunidad hispana la decisión es fácil. Tenemos que apoyar y votar por los Demócratas.

President Obama spoke on Romney's middle class tax increase and shared how his plan will keep strengthening middle class families.

President Obama was in Orlando, FL to discuss the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions of how to grow the economy, create middle-class jobs and pay down the debt.

Today, at a grassroots event in Mansfield, Ohio, President Obama highlighted a new report from the Tax Policy Center -- a nonpartisan policy think tank -- that concludes that Mitt Romney would have to raise taxes on millions of middle-class families with children by more than $2,000 to pay for his $5 trillion tax plan tilted to the wealthiest.
