Biden: Money should be spent at home

(MICHAEL C. WEIMAR | Times)

TAMPA -- Joe Biden said under President George W. Bush, too much of Americans' money is going overseas, citing billions spent on the war in Iraq.

Under Obama, he said, money would be spent on programs at home to help the middle class. He highlighted Obama's plan to fund college tuition in exchange for public service, saying funding the program would be possible even during the financial crisis.

The plan would provide $4,000 for students who perform community service or participate in programs like the Peace Corps.
