Gore vs. Bush

Bush would like to redefine the relationship between China and the United States to become one of competitors, not partners. Both Bush and Gore feel that the free market will most likely produce more individual freedom in China and he also supports increased trade with them. They also agree on defending Taiwan against aggression from the mainland, supporting the One-China Policy that has defined our relationship with them for a number of years.

Education

Ų LOCAL CONTROL

Both gore and Bush want the federal government to take a more active role in education, but Bush would like to put more stress on local control.

Ų SCHOOL CHOICE

Both favor greater choice. The difference is that Gore wants to keep the options within the public school system, while Bush favors partial privatization. However, Bush’s plan would create incentives for healthier seniors to move to cheaper plans, leaving the sick in traditional Medicare and driving up its costs. Bush feels that morale is low in the military. Bush’s plan includes free prescription drugs for seniors that earn up to 135% of the poverty level, or $11300 for a single person. He would also create a $400 tax deduction for teachers that spend their own money for schoolroom supplies. He wants to strengthen local control by establishing a $500 million fund to reward states and schools that improve performance. Gore wants to assist dialogue between North Korea and South Korea, and India and Pakistan. He also said he would use military forces against Iraq if it ever became necessary. Gore supports debt forgiveness to the poorest of these nations and Western aid to help in stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS in Central and Southern Africa. Bush would expand loan forgiveness for math and science majors who commit to teach in high-need schools for five years.
