McCain Economic Speech: Actually funny. CNN Live ***
Edited on Tue Apr-15-08 09:31 AM by oviedodem
He talks about cutting the employer tax from 35% to 25%; just peachy.

No earmarks
Spending freeze (1st year)
get rid of the AMT
Ban internet tax, Ban new cell phone tax, permanent tax credit for R&D
Big on trade and I mean KILLING OBAMA AND CLINTON AND CONGRESS ON COLUMBIA
Suspend taxes on gas from Memorial day to a later date.
Suspend purchase of oil for oil reserves
Blames lack of transparency on the housing crisis
Stressing that student loans be paid with state help (I have never heard a republican talk about anything other than loans for education).

Here is the biggie: Cut out/down government spending on social programs.


Here is the problem, you know this money is going into the military.
Many people are going to swallow this hook-line-sinker UNLESS they realize that the money they get is going to war and big business will get fatter.
