QUESTION: “Senator McCain, you have said repeatedly, quote, I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.

MCCAIN: “Actually, I don’t know where you got that quote from. I’m very well versed in economics.
QUESTION: “Well, I’ll—”
MCCAIN: “Now I know where you got that quote from. Now I know where you got that quote.”
QUESTION: “I will show you where I got that quote from. I got it from John McCain, And here it is. “[McCain] is refreshingly blunt when he tell[s] me: ‘I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.’” [Meet the Press, 1/27/08]

Just take a moment …
Just take a moment to think about it you dumb conservatives.
Just how much money did you make on your job while the other liberal president (Clinton) was president? When you compare McCain’s Econimic plan to Obama’s plan, you’d be able to afford a lot of more things than what you can afford to buy right now like a house or food. There’s a lot of people who can’t afford a home which is why a lot of those people have to qualify for a section 8 house while having to live off of food stamps.

This morning’s Good Morning America just reported that banking CEOs and execs are STILL getting $23 BILLION in bonuses -even after 170,000 job losses in that sector.
Let’s see…That would pay for 460,000 jobs, each paying $50,000/yr for an entire year.
And trickle-down works HOW?????
what a ‘ron. Third …
what a ‘ron. Third time is not a charm old man. Nobody feels bad for you still. Just got back to AZ and get ready for cindy to divorce you because you aren’t the president.
If McCain wins the …
If McCain wins the election! I’m outta here!
Haha, he’s so old …
Haha, he’s so old he keeps forgetting that he said those things xD
H i’m feeling …
H i’m feeling naughty at the moment 5
my point is less …
my point is less rent is more money in the pocket,so that means more people can buy thing
to help wall street,plus vote yes on 10 so people can use solar power from the sun less light bills, that mean more money in the pocket as well,and we can go buy more things from stores, that will help wall street
dumb ass, economy …
dumb ass, economy starts with rent in the home
think about it, the stock is products that not selling or homes thats not selling,
so,lets say if a 2 bed room apartment is 1200 a month and you need 2 people to live together to pay rent, that is what up the economy, because they share the same tv,but if rent was 800 for 2 bed rooms maybe tom can leave jon and have his on apartment now that is 2 tvs that has been sold so that just help the stock on sony or what ever brand you want,
I DON’T CARE WHAT …
I DON’T CARE WHAT ANY OF YOU LIBERALS SAY, I like John McCain’s economic plan! I heard that he has a plan to ballance government spending with a mix of black magic and astrology. He is a cancer, right? I don’t think that McCain graduating fifth from the bottom of his college class means he is dumb, it simply means that he is a Joe six pack. I think if we all went down to the local Maverick and got ourselves a six pack, our economy would fix its self.
McCain 2046
Because he will live forever!
SOCIALIST OBAMA …
SOCIALIST OBAMA worked as a Lawyer for “ACORN”, he defended them in cases where they commited voter FRAUD.
ACORN also intimidated banks into giving out RISKY loans to people who could not afford to pay them back.
Obama also sued CITIBANK, in order to help people get risky loans. This is why the ECONOMY is bad.
if anyone should be blamed it is OBAMA.
WE are in economic …
WE are in economic crisis because
1.democrats won’t drill for oil.
2.democrats want to tax those who work, to give to those who won’t.
3.democrats forced banks to make loans to people who could not pay it back.
4.democrats used Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as a piggy bank for their campaign contributions.
5.democrats created Acorn, who would intimidate banks by showing up at the bank and forcing them to make risky loans.
HOW THE F**k is this now all benefiting
Obama Bin Biden???

The so called expert is full of exlax!

JOHN MCCAIN: MORE …
JOHN MCCAIN: MORE OF THE SAME
A strong economy …
A strong economy would raise everyone’s boat.
You can’t have a strong economy when 95% of the boats are sinking(negative savings rates
that are the most since the 1930’s, low disposable income, etc). The upper 5% have never had it so good since Bush’s reckless tax cuts. The down side is tax cuts without cuts in spending leads to the 9 Trillion in DEFICITS you and your children are facing under Bush/Mccain. Better learn to speak Chinese – who lent us all this money.
“The guys talking …
“The guys talking weren’t as optimistic as you… Still, i hope you are right.”
Its hard to know for sure about any of this. But one thing I know for sure, that the fundamentals of the economy are not good and that McCain has no clue. A month ago I was going to vote for him but his ignorance and his choice of Palin have driven me away. Seriously bad judgement on his part. Americans should take a second serious look at this man and take off the rose colored glasses.
I read an article …
I read an article in the New York times, and is saw (part of) an interview on ABC. It seems Bernanke held a speeach at the Capitol. The guys talking weren’t as optimistic as you… Still, i hope you are right.
“The word on Wall …
“The word on Wall St. is the stock market will crash on Monday, 72 hours from now, is that true?”
I think that if Paulson had not acted and the new bailout for banks not taken place we would be standing at the edge looking down into the abyss come Monday. As it stands now with the financial backing the banks have a chance to recapitalize. Housing needs to bottom out and start to rebound, then things will start to get better. We are probably near that point.
