McCain Economics
Back when John McCain was a "straight talker," he said this about economics:
- “I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.” (11/26/05)
- “The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should. … I’ve got Greenspan’s book.” (12/18/07)
Here's McCain's economic plan in a nutshell, based on his statements and writing:
- Cut taxes on corporations from 35% to 25%.
- Lower taxes on capital gains and dividends from 15%
- All interest rates at zero.
- Fix the economy by telling people it's good. Give fireside pep talks.
- Deregulate and abolish Sarbanes-Oxley
- Check in Greenspan's book
- Lower interest rates, and destroy the standing of the dollar
- Ban Accountants. They are offensive.
- Blame the last eight years on Democrats
- Freedom Works
