McCain's economic plan:feed the rich,starve the poor. Losing your house? No bailout money for you, that goes to the rich bankers and CEOs who really need that money to pay for their luxurious lifestyle, after all 'the rich are very different from you and I' - right?
McCain is another 'supply side' trickle down Bushonomic's devotee, that is, give the rich all they want, and them let them relieve themselves on the middle class.

God forbid he wants to help the middle class!

He'd be called a socialist.

Please post a link to your statement.
This is not at all how I see McCain's economic plan. I see him wanting to put a spending freeze on government spending and cut all the funding to the crap our government spends our money on. This will help ALL Americans. He also said he will work hard to eliminate all "gold parachute" clauses to any agency that uses any government funds. Wouldn't that include those HUGE packages that all congressmen receive for just showing up?

Oh, bs. Who wrote the bailout plan? The stauch republican pelosi? The noted conservative barney frank? W is a lame duck, the democrats pushed the bailout, and shamed the republicans into signing the damned thing. Lets not pretend otherwise.

And quite frankly, why the hell should we 'bailout' idiots who took out ARM mortgages? After all, if the housing market continued the boom, these self same people begging for government handouts would be selling their homes for a massive profit. Face it, the gambled and lost in the market.

And for the record...the bailout bill was a massive mistake, and one I never supported and never will support and I will vote against any and all of my representatives who voted for it. And that would be democrats!

Then you must not be poor or a minority. Everything I see is for either of those two groups. Isn't that a shame? Spreading the wealth, baby, spreading the wealth!

Wasnt it McCain that was greatly criticized by the left here for wanting to buy $300M in bad loans to help the poor stay in their homes? Ahh yep..

ps, Obama supported the bailout written by DEMOCRATS, try again..

huh??

You do realize that means cutting ALL federal spending for cancer research, needed social programs, technology research, state aid, foreign aid, etc... ITS RETARDED.

Baracks plan is much more feasibly which is to go, line by line, and cut programs that DO NOT WORK. Take programs that are working and MAKE THEM BETTER.

How does freezing EVERYTHING help Americans???
