Meghan McCain: ‘I Just Don’t Understand’ The Economy, But I Think A Second Stimulus ‘Doesn’t Make Sense’
Meghan McCain: ‘I Just Don’t Understand’ The Economy, But I Think A Second Stimulus ‘Doesn’t Make Sense’
This morning on Fox & Friends, John McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain railed against President Obama for signing the omnibus spending bill yesterday. “I think it’s so disappointing and it’s scary,” McCain said, referencing the earmarks in the bill. “Hope and change – what’s going on?” She added, “This second stimulus package that Nancy Pelosi’s talking about I think doesn’t make sense.”
Meghan McCain’s comments this morning are surprising, given that last night she was telling MSNBC host Rachel Maddow that she doesn’t know much about the economy. Here’s how McCain responded when Maddow asked her whether she agrees with her father’s call for a spending freeze:
McCAIN: Spending freeze? You know, econ – economic things, I said this last night on Hannity, I said is my — I didn’t even take econ in college. I don’t completely understand it so I’d hate to make a comment one way or the other. That’s – truly of all the things – I keep reading and I just don’t understand it.
Watch a compilation of the clips:
McCain should have stuck with her concession that she doesn’t know much about the economy. Instead, by coming out against a second stimulus, Meghan is contradicting the advice of Nobel Prize winning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman. “We need a larger and better designed stimulus,” Stiglitz said yesterday. Krugman adds, “It’s rapidly becoming clear that yes, the [first stimulus] was too small.”
The McCain family appears to enjoy commenting on economic matters without knowledge. Despite conceding early on that economics was “not something I’ve understood as well I should,” John McCain ran a presidential campaign trying to convince voters that the fundamentals of the economy were strong.

Suppose your heart stops, and the doctor shocks you with the defibrillator, but your heart doesn’t begin beating. Would it make sense for him to shock you a second time, or should he just give up and let you die?

March 12th, 2009 at 11:12 amWhy all of a sudden are they pimping Meghan on all the talk shows? Is it to put out a female version of Joe the Plumber hoping that she’ll connect with young republicans?
March 12th, 2009 at 11:13 amLet’s see..at least she is consistent with the rest of her family..
Daddy: Economy is strong;
Mommy: Sell everything after the InBev takeover so I can keep my plane;
NOW daughter: I don’t know anything about the economy but Daddy says the nice black man is making us pay more to keep the seven houses and my allowance is not going up any more…
PATHETIC….
March 12th, 2009 at 11:15 amWhy all of a sudden are they pimping Meghan on all the talk shows?
She has been retained by the “John S. McNumbNuts Legacy Preservation Project”.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:15 amAh, the trust fund baby and voice of the moderate branch of the Republican Party has spoken. Typing moderate drivel on her pet blog from her million dollar apartment paid for by Mommy. I saw her on Maddow last night. Rachel treated her with kid gloves (not too many Repubs offering to go on “Progressive” shows these days). She came across as pretty vapid even for a repub. Kinda like the Paris Hilton of the young Republican jetset. She did throw down the gauntlet with Man Colture, though. Should get interesting.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:15 amThey should just give Steele’s job to Barbie if this is who they’re trotting out to speak for their party.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:16 amYou go on air with the Conservative ‘talent’ you have—not the Conservative ‘talent’ you might want or wish to have at a later time.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:18 amThe Steele Token vs Barbie McWars………I just love the Republiscum Channel.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:19 amI think I would look to Paul Krugman for economic advise, but Meghan, not so much.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:19 amI’m not surprised Fox News would breathlessly await Meghan McCain’s opinion on economics, but I’m really disappointed in Rachel giving air time to this air head.
What’s next? Piper Palin reporting live from the Afghan/Pakistan border?
March 12th, 2009 at 11:19 amIt’s like you’re about to get attacked by a rampaging lion and you have a shotgun. You ask Congress to give you the ammunition you need to stop the lion from mauling you, and they hand you a shell full of birdshot. Knowing full well that its not going to stop the lion, and will probably annoy it, you shoot anyway, hoping to at least slow the lion down.
The lion is still charging, let’s hope for the right ammunition this time…..
March 12th, 2009 at 11:23 amShe “loves the Republican Party”.
She’s 24 years old and registered as a Republican last father’s day.
She smacked down Ann Coulter, who her beloved Republican Party has been propping up.
She doesn’t know anything about economics.
She doesn’t think the stimulus plan is good economic policy.
Are we supposed to be impressed?
March 12th, 2009 at 11:24 amSaw Miss McCain on both the Maddow show & Fixed Friends. This does come to mind listening to the girl:

Honestly, why ask her about the economy? That’s like asking Janet Reno about fashion.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:26 amMcCain doesn’t have to understand economics, he married a millionaire heiress, eh?
LOL
March 12th, 2009 at 11:27 amSo why should his daughter have to understand economics? Think she ever had a credit card limit?
LOL
March 12th, 2009 at 11:28 amMeghan McCain, “Well gosh the economy must still be strong. I keep spending lots of money and sending mommy the bills and she pays them just like she always did.”
March 12th, 2009 at 11:30 amWell, it looks like the Republican’t party has decided to pimp Meghan McCain as their ambassador to attract young people to their party. Too bad she’s such an airhead. I was very disappointed in Rachel Maddow’s interview with her. Rachel didn’t ask any hard-hitting questions. It was mostly a fluff job. Shame on Rachel.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:32 amDid I miss something? Does Meghan McCain have some cred I’m unaware of? Why are people other than her blog following paying attention to her?
Yes, she has a blog. It’s even written better than a number of them I’ve seen. And she has a famous daddy. And while she appears to have more functioning brain cells than Joe the Plumber, she hardly qualifies as an expert in any field. Because of this lack, the only people who will pay attention to her are people grasping at straws — looking for ANY quote from anyone supporting their view.
I would like to express some admiration for Meghan, though. Apparently she has the guts to appear on Rachel Maddow while many of her Republican brethren don’t.

I think this is basically what is going on. The Republican party is so disconnected with her generation and with moderates at this point that they need someone like Meghan’s help, and she seems happy and capable to do it. I have respect for her just for what she said about Coulter, but isn’t it pure speculation that Congress is drafting a second stimulus? Wasn’t that debunked? BTW, I think a second stimulus is a horrible idea.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:35 amShorter Megan: When it comes to the economy, I know less than my dad, and he’s functionally illiterate.

March 12th, 2009 at 11:35 amI don’t understand why a Senator’s daughter, who admittedly doesn’t know shit about a particular subject, should be shooting her mouth off about that subject.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:36 amPerhaps something about apples falling close to a tree thingy..?
Hmmm, rummaging around here in the old noggin for that aphorism about making statements. Aah, here it is:

Not that it made a difference since Rachel treated her like the interview was a fluff job. I’m very disappointed in Rachel for that. I wonder if it was her idea or if her bosses told her that she had to treat Meghan with kid gloves?
March 12th, 2009 at 11:38 amSay what you will about Mehgan. Yes, she is an airhead; however, her appearance on Fox & Friends doubled the on-camera IQ.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:38 amMeghan comes off as a little ditzy and publicity hungry, it’s true, but she’s young, still trying to figure out the world, much less the economy. She’s a work in progress. But no matter what her flaws may be, to me it’s a positive development for a moderate Republican–any moderate Republican–to speak out against hard right crazies like Coulter. Maybe she’ll inspire others to do the same.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:41 amLook at the bright side. At least she didn’t say it all comes down to the Federal Reserve being privately owned.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:43 amshe’s in love with the republican party and like most 24 year olds she has no idea what she’s in love with.
but anyone that wants to take on the crazy ass wing of her party i say more power to her.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:44 amIs this dumb bunny planning on taking her Dad’s place when he kicks the bucket or “retires”?
The best way to get Repub votes is to claim you’re stupid and proud.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:45 amHey Think Progress, you don’t know much about an Economy either. No really, you don’t. Come on, stop kidding your self, you have no clue how to get a population to work. But I guess it’s still fun to point out other people’s ignorance because of their political affiliation.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:45 amMeghan McCain: “I don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t understand any of the issues, have no facts to support or dispute, but I have a very strong opinion none the less.”
Typical ‘pub. Younger, yes, but still bag of rocks.

What does political affiliation have to do with it? They’re pointing out Meghan McCain’s ignorance because of her televised admission of ignorance.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:49 amPutting Meghan out there is a great idea. She’s the new face of the Republican party. Younger, prettier, not as grumpy but equally clueless. It’s like having Paris Hilton star in the title role of a movie about Charlton Heston.

March 12th, 2009 at 11:51 amShe soooo spoke “Valley Girl” with Rachel….I mean…like…it was all….you know…
March 12th, 2009 at 11:54 am…gross….like…you know.
OH, and one more thing….She has MASTERED the Republican art of WHINING…Do they teach this in NeoNut training camp???
March 12th, 2009 at 11:57 amI thinks Rachel showed a lot of class, even tho the interview was really all fluff. Rachel knows that Ms. McCain is an empty vessel, and now the viewers know, too. Rachel is no bully – more like a heat-seeking missile that couldn’t find any heat. Megan has name-recognition and $$$$$, but there is no there, there!!
March 12th, 2009 at 11:57 amI think Meghan was more truthful when she was with Rachel…She was telling the morns at FNC what they wanted her to.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:58 amMy takeaway from Meghan’s appearance on Rachel last night: She’s 24 years old. Must have said it at least four time. Other than that, blahblahblahblahblah…

March 12th, 2009 at 12:05 pmMeghan McCain obviously spent a lot of time with Sarah Palin during the campaign, because she seems to have picked up her talking points and is simply repeating them nearly verbatim.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:06 pmI saw her spot with Rachel last night and she also said there that she hadn’t taken econ in college (what did take?) but on Rachel’s show she had the good sense not to offer an opinion about it. She did have a lot of stuff about “having conversations” and being moderate and how the extreme rhetoric of the right wing of the party was alienating young people. But I couldn’t help noticing a complete and utter lack of any policy ideas, any solutions, any you know, like, plans. So on the far right (which, unlike Billo’s “extreme radical left” actually is a far right) we have corrosive, hate filled rhetoric and obstructionism, and in Meghan McCain’s moderate wing of the party we have can’t-we-all-just-get-along. Wonderful.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:08 pmThe Republicans need more moderates like Meghan McCain who are publicly moderate and willing to talk to liberals. Because then we can have an honest debate about things. Right now the only people really talking are hard-right wing. There is no debate because they have their fingers stuck in the ears while shouting their principles and blocking bills in congress. We can’t progress this way.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:08 pmI watched her on Maddow last night.
I give her points for stating the obvious–that the GOP is extreme and is losing her generation—because she is going against the Republican establishment grain and that kind of talk puts a target on one’s back.
But on FOX she’s sounds like a typical entitled Republican—subject matter ignorance doesn’t prevent her from making vapid declarative statements.
She’s more articulate than Sarah Palin, which is something I suppose, but she seems no smarter than average and she seems to think that whatever she knows is already enough–a familiar trait of Republicans.
I think perhaps her real motivation has been expressed in the course of her blog posts already—her social life is crap because Republicans are un-cool but if she sat at the cool librul kidz table she’d risk her prospects for a comfortable right-wing welfare career path.
I don’t mean to pick on her (she’s still young and consider her influences) but IMHO her deepest thoughts and concerns seem to revolve around her whilst it seems her opinions on anything else are expressed with fully-formed vacuous rhetoric.

Now that’s just not true! If you’d look at her blog, she’s totally committed to a plan:
I mean, a tat is, like, a TOTAL commitment!
I hope she and Victoria Jackson don’t appear on the same FOX program…I’ll have to brace the sides of the TV to keep ‘em from collapsing in the resulting vacuum…
March 12th, 2009 at 12:16 pmIm guessing she has a book in the works or something. She’s too young to run for Senate. Congress is a possibility for 2010, but what district would she run in that either has
a. a ridiculously weak dem incumbent
b. a retiree
Im confused. Meghan seems to be a nice enough person, but why would she purposely go on these shows to give her undereducated opinion?
March 12th, 2009 at 12:18 pmBless her little heart, Meghan is just such a Valley Girl (Valley of the Sun). She is really convinced people care what she thinks about everything.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:34 pmWhy is she all over TV giving interviews, and why does anyone think she’s a writer???
March 12th, 2009 at 12:43 pmShe needs that little 14 yr. old knucklehead Jonathan what’s-his-name as her advisor/speech coach.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:54 pm.
Meghan’s experience on…
Is…?
.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:06 pmMeghen may not know anything about economics … it seems her forte is science. She has certainly proven that life can exist in a vacuum.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:14 pmYep, this is what I would expect. An attractive woman disagreeing with liberals, who love freedom of speech, oh wait only when the speech agrees with them, and when it does not, immature insults are tossed around so as to dismiss the person disagreeing, at least you are consistent. Was it not Michelle Obama who made light of the Bush rebate last spring saying that $700 is nice, but not going to do anything for the economy. Yet, $13 a week or whatever the next spending bill is (and BTW, REAL tax breaks are not “spending,” and is the only proven way for the govt to get the economy back on track). Yet Pres Obama insists that you cannot have stimulus without spending. I thought change was not about missleading us any more, but being straight. We have ourself simply another politician, nothing more…
March 12th, 2009 at 1:26 pmA friend has a name for people like Meghan. She calls them Bimbettes. Too old to be Bimbalinas and too young to be Bimbos. But Stupid nevertheless.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:38 pmShe’s living off of family money, of course she knows nothing about economics.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:50 pmWhat – Joe and Sarah weren’t vacuous and irrelevant enough to continue to speak for the GOP???
seriously – WTF!?
March 12th, 2009 at 1:51 pmIf a progressive MALE TV talker had a pretty, young, blonde repug twit on his show and asked those softball questions I would suspect that he hoped to be able to score later. hmmmm
March 12th, 2009 at 2:24 pmDear Ms. McCain,
You’re right. You don’t understand economics.
However, I am even more bothered that after admitting that, you went on to critique the economic policy on a national forum where you apparently would hold sway with folks willing to forego their beliefs to agree with you.
March 12th, 2009 at 2:25 pm@69 – try simmering down a little before posting. you’ll make a little bit more sense.
Nothing personal re: M. McCain – she’s just not qualified in any way to talk about these things, just like I’m not qualified to fly airplanes.
March 12th, 2009 at 2:41 pmAs a Republican … I understand and stand behind your remarks.
Of course, I don’t understand anything about science or gravity. But I really do believe that their is a gigantic invisible man holding the earth up on his shoulders.
Don’t take this personal dear, but why is anyone bothering to put a mic in front of this bimbo?
March 12th, 2009 at 2:47 pmShe’s just Paris Hilton +50 lbs
March 12th, 2009 at 2:59 pmNow, where did this little girl come from? Is she the new GOP chairman or something? WHY is this child being interviewed about anything????
March 12th, 2009 at 3:05 pmIt’s our own fault for listening to these morons.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:12 pmChange the channel when they reveal themselves.
Example:
“I don’t completely understand it so I’d hate to make a comment one way or the other.” (CLICK)
Meghan added that she was still looking for her first stimulus.

I am here as I want a dialogue on the matter, but I guess this is for one type of thought only. I guess you meant no parking zone for free speech, only hate speech and ignorance allowed here. I will be away from my computer for a while, but look forward to you proving me wrong. Doubt you can though
March 12th, 2009 at 3:32 pmThis is not just some attractive woman who happens to be republican. This is a “woman” born with the silver spoon of GOP “royalty” in her toothy mouth, who they will TRY to make into the next George Bush, if “the family” gets its way. She has no contribution to the future of humanity, no known talent, but a daddy with power and a mommie with lots of money, which makes her one up on Nyada…she who has a talent for making babies and conning people into giving her things.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:48 pmWell at least she was honest. Something he dad could learn from her. I saw the interview and she seemed like a nice, decent girl. And she condemned a lot of the far right neocon nonsense.
I am glad she was at least honest and outspokenly so to Rachel, making it clear she did not understand economics. She even said she’d “tried” but just didn’t get it.
The truth is her father didn’t understand it either.
She was just honest enough to at least admit it.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:49 pmYea, she “disagreed” with liberals.
Right before admitting she didn’t have a clue what she was talking about.

If you are having surgery performed, and Meghan McCain comes into the operating room and tries to tell the doctor how to do his job, is the doctor infringing on her right to free speech if he tells her to get the F$%^* out of the oeprating room? Does she have the knolwedge or credibility to throw her two cents in on something she knows absoultely nothing about? Do I get to go on network television and spout off about a subject I know nothing about? As for your comment that tax cuts are the only way to get the government back on track (by the way it’s not GOVERNMENT that is off track, it’s the economy stupid, if government WAS the economy that would be REAL Socialism)… try reading history. Herbert Hoover thought the same thing and millions of people ended up living in shanty towns called Hoovervilles because of it… so I’m not sure what you’re definition of “proven” is!
March 12th, 2009 at 3:53 pmKnowing nothing doesn’t stop her from talking. A true GOOPer. Now maybe she’ll get her own radio show on Clear Channel.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:18 pmJust one more person not to believe.
I saw her on Rachel. So innocent, so beautiful, rather like a snake charmer now that I know what she said on Foxy.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:25 pmMcCain and economy..those are two words that don’t go well together.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:37 pmHey, she said that she didn’t understand ecconomics. Compare her to Boehner. I think that she’s pretty reasonable for a Republican. I think that she could disagree without being disagreeable or lying. What more can you ask of a Republican. I’d have a conversation with her.
March 12th, 2009 at 5:08 pmSounds to me like Meghan got spanked for speaking out about Coulter. Daddy told her, now you go on all these other shows and make nice. Stupid but nice. What she said about Coulter had some zing. The economy stuff was pure Barbie.
March 12th, 2009 at 5:50 pmhey everyone… I found this video today that shows perspectives from different news sources on the whole Pelosi discussion. Definitely worth watching…

March 12th, 2009 at 7:16 pmIt wont make sense because you are daughter of John Mccain, sorry hottie, keep watching.

March 12th, 2009 at 11:30 pmOkay Meghan, now just like Craig Ferguson’s urging to his audience about their applause, just quietly fade away…fade away…that’s right….
March 13th, 2009 at 1:21 pmWaynebro, name one reason why Obama has a clue about the economy or what he is talking about. There is nothing in his background that would help him in this matter. It is easy to make fun of Meghan, but she is not the president and despite her education level on the economy, she has a right to express her views. I actually manage a P&L, a large P&L, and know the responsibility that comes with that. I am not a Republican, and neither was Bush. Much like the new amazing first lady said, a $700 tax refund is not going to turn around the economy. But somehow a $13 a week tax refund and spending over a million to research the effects of animal methane emission on a midwest state apparently will. Really?
What bothers me about the dialogue on here, is that although I have seen a few people open to a dialogue, many others simply insult her appearance and honesty (wish most of the SEC had that) and try to take her credibilty away with juvenille insults, they just want to paint her as an overweight barbie. What I realize is that stems from jealousy and fear. She is intelligent and the left fears a strong emergence from the Center right as that is where the country actually is (the center not just center right, center left just as much), and if that message gets across the 2010 midterm election will be a blood bath for the lefts, based on the insane spending and earmarks (and BTW Republicans are writing them too). I personally want all politicians out of office as I believe all of them, on either side, are indebtted to special interests and we will never have real change until we get new people to run our country, that do not owe anyting to any lobbyist or special interst group. I thought my President Obama’s inaguration was a wonderful day, to say where we were and where we are now and it expanded the American dream 100 fold, but I do not think we will get change that works for the American people. I welcome all thoughts on this…
