Someone needs to ask McCain how he is going to pay off the bailout - raise taxes?

[stray cat]

I'm sick of the GOP spending money like crazy and still claiming taxes are a bad thing and they won't raise them. If this bail out is so important than its time to raise taxes and close loopholes to responsibly pay for it.

1. Someone needs to ask McCain how he plans on paying off anything?

No new taxes means what exactly? How will he pay down the deficit? In all the hoopla, I've never gotten a reasonable answer to that.

2. Right. The "lower taxes and the economy will zoom like a sumbitch" argument is disproven.

Pick only one;
1) borrow
2) tax

3. The spokesman for the McCain campaign

Joe Isuzu said McCain is going to lower taxes for all Americans. He said if you lower taxes the revenues always increase. He said if only we could totally eliminate all taxes we could pay off the debt and would have plenty to fund SS and have universal heath care for all Americans.

4. He'll cut earmarks.

Sure, he'll be $680B short, but that's McCluck for ya.
