I picked McCain at this point I do not think higher taxes will do any good. I do not think we need to throw money at the economy. We have hit a rough patch but it is already looking better.

Question McCain?

Who voted for McCain??

He's already admitted that he doesn't know very much about economic affairs - LOL!

He just stated (and the DNC continually loops on TV) that he thinks Americans are doing better than they were seven years ago....

Too funny!

I picked "none of the above." Bush has wacked out this ecomony for at least another decade!

He is the most likely to do nothing but put better regulations in place. He will not plan bail outs nor throw money at the problem.

I picked Clinton. Bill Clinton managed to turn the economy around when he was in office. I think his wife could do the same thing.

How about commenting on the thread: Proposed Tax Changes.

The Dems are really gonna help the economy with what they are proposing.

McCain supports a massive expansion to the FHA program.

McCain is hyperinflation

"I wish Fed interest rates were zero"


YouTube - John McCain doesn't understand economics

as spoken by Juan McCain himself in the Republican Debate.

Rather have high taxes than a worthless currency. Then again, it's like the difference between a swift boot in the tailbone versus a kick to the nads.
