3. McCain will just steal Obama's plan, just like he did with all of Obama's slogans
And then McCain will claim to be more qualified to implement the plan because, uh, he helped break the economy so he's better suited to fixing it. Or something even more ludicrous.

4. McCain thinks that the "Fundamentals of our economy are strong".That`s his plan.

5. Yes - boilerplate republican talking points ...
Cut government spending - which in the big scheme of things has next to NOTHING to do with the economy at large.
Cut taxes - say it will be for everyone, but in fact will lean to the higher brackets.
Deregulate even more - read what his camp is saying now. They are saying "OUTDATED or conflicting" and are saying they are problematic because they were put in place in the 1930s, which is when the proper amount of regulations were put in place, and are going on about vague this is 2008 stuff. They are doing EVERYTHING they can to talk about deregulation in a manner in which they blame REGULATIONS, without saying it.

That is it ... They drone on about cutting taxes and government spending, and the MSM whores nod approvingly.
