LOL! McBushPOW new AD focuses on the economic "crisis" and how they can fix it.
Script For “Crisis” (TV-:30):

ANNCR: Our economy in crisis.

Only proven reformers John McCain and Sarah Palin can fix it.

Tougher rules on Wall Street to protect your life savings.

No special interest giveaways.

Lower taxes to create new jobs.

Off-shore drilling to reduce gas prices.

McCain - Palin.

Leadership, Experience, for the Change we need.

MCCAIN: I’m John McCain and I approve this message.

3. Tougher rules on Wall Street, John?
YOU, ASSHOLE, voted to WEAKEN them nine years ago! And it was GRAMM's bill - you remember him, don'cha John? He's your economic guru, the one who told Americans to QUIT WHINING.

5. Lowering Taxes will NOT create revenue, and jobs
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 08:24 AM by dtotire
Only a fool still believes that. What WILL create jobs is investment--both Public and Private. If the Government increases investment in the country's infrastructure, in research and development, increasing the skills of the labor force, and in public health, it will generate private investment.

All these will create jobs, and grow the economy. Tax revenue is necessary to fund these programs, and it should be adequate enough without having to borrow from foreigners. The idea of "supply-side" economics is that by lowering taxes on the wealthy, they would make investments, which would create jobs. It was a crackpot idea. and Reagan bought into it, and sold it to the rest of the country. To save money, he cancelled or cut back programs that would make us less dependent on foreign energy sources, and we are paying for it now. Private investors will not invest unless there is demand, and public investment will create this. When Kennedy made a large investment in the the space program, this is what happened.
Obama is proposing investing in the infrastructure, and in the technology that will make us less dependent on foreign energy source, and reduce the $700B balance of payment deficit. This is what needs to be done.
