Obama's Challenge, by Robert Kuttner: on Education


Barack Obama: Refundable $4000 tax credit for community college tuition

Obama proposes to expand the child-care tax credit, though he would also dramatically expand the system of child care and pre-kindergarten. He also proposes a refundable $4,000 tax credit--equivalent to a direct grant--for community college tuition.

It would also be available to other college students who completed a hundred hours a year of volunteer service.
