Like all hamburger helper, this “plan” is completely meatless. No surprise that biz tax cuts aren’t described in detail — neither are any other solid policy proposals. Either the Post imposed a tight word count or they haven’t come up with anything yet.

Hmmm…The WaPo article says “(McCain)would improve our international competitiveness with a tax credit for research and development, investment incentives and a lower corporate tax rate.
How do you conclude that Holtz-Eakin says “not one word about the two massive corporate tax cuts…?”

The misguided corporate tax breaks may also not be completely “abandoned”. They may have decided that they would be unpopular to mention at this point, but would dust them off when their “accountability moment” had passed. I think it may be premature to assume that they’ve corrected their thinking. Until the campaign repudiates them specifically, I think we have to assume that they are still in play.

So, as of today, with the election drawing near – John McCain has no idea what to do about economic and tax policies.

That’s reassuring.

Maybe he shouldn’t have planned on losing the primaries again this time, as he always has in the past.

If you really like the economy the way it is, and you see no problems with the last eight years, vote for McCain. He will continue to promote the same economic policies that got us to this point.

In today’s Washington Post, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, senior policy adviser to Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign, writes about McCain’s plan for “turning around the economy.”

If he valued his career, the McCain adviser should abandon McCain…

Sorry Holtz-Eakin, go throw another dart.
