McCain Jobs

John McCain admits he knows little about economics. But what little he knows is enough to kill good American jobs. 

3/08: Boeing lost a $35 billion contract for Air Force tankers to the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. (EADS), which cost 44,000 good U.S. jobs.

  • 3 top McCain advisors worked for EADS
  • EADS contributed $14,000 to McCain's presidential campaign, more than they gave to any other Member of Congress
  • McCain helped block an earlier tanker contract with Boeing and prodded the Pentagon in 2006 to develop bidding procedures that did not exclude Airbus.
