McCain's Top Economic Advisor In CNN's Top 10 Economy Bad Guys

Right now CNN has the 10 most wanted list of culprits responsible for the economic crisis. Phil Gramm, John McCains top economic advisor is number 4 on that list.

John McCain says he will change the economy.

I don't doubt that at all.

Your honor I rest my case...

McCain Campaign To Make Fiorina Disappear

McCain No Stranger To Tough Times In Economy

The last time our Country was in a large economic crisis caused by lack of regulation, like now, was the Charles Keating Savings & Loan Scandal in the 80's. Like now back then John McCain was a prominent fixture in the headlines. Except then it was because he got caught using his position on the commerce committee to interfere with the regulation and investigation into Keating's scam. McCain along with four other Senators were known as the Keating Five.



For those of you unfamiliar with the Keating Five, google it. Great insight into who he is, what he thinks about regulations, how close he gets to corporations , how he abuses his power, etc. You will find the type of person the Republicans are throwing out for President this year and probably a whole lot more.



Point is, the guy is a criminal. He wasn't young when he did that. He knew what he was doing and I guarantee our problems will be ten-fold with his boys running things. It would be Phil Gramm, Carly Fiorina, Lindsay Grahm and a whole host of other anti-regulation type champions, paving the way for even more abuse. Soon we (US) would be the ones filing bankruptcy. China would be re posessing our National Banks. John McCain would be blaming it on the Democrats and so on and so on.



Fact is the best economies happen under Democratic Presidents. I say we all do our best to make sure that happens in November.

John McCain Says Economy Strong; Dow Drops 500 Points

John McCain said today that the economy is "Fundamentally Strong". The very same day that the DOW dropped 500 points, Lehamn Brothers filed for bankruptcy, and Bank Of America bought out a failing Merrill Lynch. The things this man says make my head hurt. Oh and he quoted "Herbert Hoover" in talking about the economy today. There is no end...

The Week That Should Of Ended John McCain's Candidacy

It most definitely should of, But the media really likes his BBQ's.

The Week That Should Have Ended McCain's Presidential Hopes

This is the week that should have effectively ended John McCain's efforts to become the next president of the United States. But you wouldn't know it if you watched any of the mainstream media outlets or followed political reporting in the major newspapers.

During this past week: McCain called the most important entitlement program in the U.S. a disgrace, his top economic adviser called the American people whiners, McCain released an economic plan that no one thought was serious, he flip flopped on Iraq, joked about the deaths of Iranian citizens, and denied making comments that he clearly made -- TWICE. All this and it is not even Friday! Yet watching and reading the mainstream press you would think McCain was having a pretty decent political week, I mean at least Jesse Jackson didn't say anything about him.

But let's unpack McCain's week in a little more detail.

1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace." This is not a quote taken out of context. John McCain called one of the most successful and popular government programs, which uses the tax revenues of current workers to support retirement benefits for the elderly "an absolute disgrace." This is shocking - and if uttered from Obama's mouth would dominate the news coverage and the Sunday shows, as pundits would speculate about the massive damage the statement would cause him among retirees in Florida.

2. McCain's top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy. Words cannot fully explain how devastating this statement should be from Phil Gramm. You would think it would be enough to sink McCain's campaign. Of course McCain only thinks that the economic problems are psychological.

3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop. The Iraqis now want us to begin planning our withdrawal - McCain however wants to stay foooorrreeevvveerrrr. So what does McCain say - First, he refuses to accept Maliki's statement as being true. Then he concedes that it was an accurate statement, but was probably just a political ploy to curry favor with his own people and WOULD NOT influence his determination to keep US troops in Iraq indefinitely. Yet, McCain in 2004 at the Council on Foreign Relations said that if the Iraqis asked us to leave, we would have to go. No matter what. But that was apparently a younger and less experienced John McCain.

But let's just look at his comment that Maliki's statement is "just politics." If that is true, then it must also be true that the American military presence in Iraq is so unpopular with Iraqis that the government is forced to push for a timetable in order to survive at the ballot box. That's a reason to stay for 100 years.

John McCain's Top Economic Advisor Gramm : Mental Recession?

Phil Gramm :

"You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession," he said, noting that growth has held up at about 1 percent despite all the publicity over losing jobs to India, China, illegal immigration, housing and credit problems and record oil prices. "We may have a recession; we haven't had one yet."

"We have sort of become a nation of whiners," he said. "You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline" despite a major export boom that is the primary reason that growth continues in the economy, he said.

This comes from McCain's Top economic adviser. The man who outlines his economic plan. So this is a huge preview of what a John McCain administration would do about our economy. Nothing!
