McCain promises to make the President's tax cuts permanent, pledges not to raise any new taxes and said he'd pay for it all with pork barrel spending reform. McCain's approach just won't work. As the Senate Budget Office recently reported, extending the Bush tax cuts and continuing the war is a recipe for a $6 trillion dollar deficit, something McCain can't possibly pay for by reducing $35 billion in earmarks and pork spending. |
I agree with that. That's why I'm not voting for McCain. I just wish we had an option this year for a president who would push for a responsible economic policy AND cutting the crap on earmarks. But since I can only choose one, I'll take the responsible economic policy any day. We can't afford to become China's slave because of this disastrous foreign policy budget.
