Holy crap! McCain wants to DOUBLE the Bush tax cuts!!

[Thickasabrick]

"McCain’s tax plan ‘will make deficits expand."

On Friday, Center for American Progress Action Fund Senior Fellow Robert Gordon and Domestic Policy Advisor James Kvaal released a report detailing how Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) tax plan costs more than $2 trillion in the first decade by doubling the Bush tax cuts. One of McCain’s economic advisers, former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, responded to the report yesterday, as well as CAPAF criticism of McCain’s health plan. Holtz-Eakin concedes that McCain’s tax plan “will make deficits expand up front,” but argues that “voters should wait” before “passing judgment” on McCain’s plan.

7. We need to really start questioning some of these republican's

patriotism because they are the ones seems hell bent on destroying the country. He know Bush has fucked the country up but yet he's going to keep all of Bush's policies and double up on them. All I can say is the so called white working class voters who's falling for this tool better wake the fuck up.

First, The Clintons are Obama's most effective campaigners in the primaries. Now McCain is doing all the heavy lifting for Obama in the General Election.

10. I'm just glad that his cuts to military spending would be coordinated with the loss of tax revenue.

Oh, yeah. I forgot. 100 years.

You know we're going to end up selling Alaska back to Russia to pay our debts one of these days.

11. And since the Bush tax cuts have done so well, imagine...

what this will do...

13. Just think if Lincoln, Wilson and Roosevelt had cut taxes when

war started. Had they gotten away with it we'd really be in deep shit today.

[Snarkoleptic]

14. Double down on the proven failure of voo doo economics?

Double down on war by bombing Iran?
If that ass-clown gets into the WH, we're soooo screwed!
