Hey, everybody! This morning on "This Week" McCain offered his plan to save the economy!

[hiaasenrocks]

"Stop pork-barrel spending."

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

:wtf:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Wow. That's original.

[SPKrazy]

2. it would be a good start

then included should be the military contracts

oh and that messopotamia thing, uhm, what's it called, er.... IRAQ!

yeah

pork and Iraq

[Deja Q]

3. Better than giving tax incentives to corportations for investing in American workers, I suppose...

:crazy:


The rest of the world is catching up and no doubt, thanks to their quantity, they're almost caught up.

We can invest in America too... I'd hope!

[Faygo Kid]

4. To McCain, "pork barrel spending" means programs that don't help the rich

Let's remember, this guy is a Republican through and through. That means cutting "pork barrel spending" like spending on schools, home heating aid for seniors, expanding SCHIP and similar programs that help average folks who need it. It doesn't mean ending subsidies to oil companies or cutting lavish spending on weapons programs.

5. Well, he certainly has a firm grasp on the obvious, huh?

[jimshoes]

6. Only if that "Pork" includes the scandalously bloated

military and defense budgets.

[MissWaverly]

7. He also said extend the tax cuts

well, that did such an excellent job of rolling up the deficit there's no reason that it should not continue. I heard that the
national debt clock does not have a space for our debt when it goes over 10 trillion, it was never thought that it would go that
high so they will eliminate the dollar sign to make room for more debt.

8. He needs to include some non-AARP members in his focus groups.

:crazy:
