John McCain hates Social Security. After 3 days of promised announcements which didn't appear, John McCain finally articulated his "new" financial package today. The Obama campaign responds:
John McCain's latest gambit is a day late and 101 million middle-class families short. McCain's plan would spend $300 billion to bailout the same irresponsible Wall Street banks that got us into this mess without doing anything to help jumpstart job growth for America's middle class. His plan continues to provide no tax relief at all to 101 million hardworking families, including 97 percent of senior citizens, and it does nothing to cut taxes for small businesses or give them access to credit. Senator McCain also shows how little he understands the economy by offering lower capital gains rates in a year in which people don't have an awful lot of capital gains. His trickle-down, ideological recipes won't strengthen our economy and grow our middle-class, but Barack Obama's pro-jobs, pro-family economic policies will.
The McCain Campaign hasn't been able to create a single clear message in months. When you couple this impotent proposal with McCain's promise to remove $1.3 Trillion from Medicare and Medicaid, finally, a clear message emerges, but it's not pretty. John McCain thinks that Seniors are stupid. On November 4 they will prove him wrong by electing Barack Obama President of the United States.
"Some" amount of money? Like, from zero to infinity? Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
