John McCain now supports the Bush tax cuts- that he twice opposed- and will increase the deficit and let the national debt swell with his irresponsible tax cuts, betraying his career in the Senate as a "deficit hawk."
"Even without assuming the costs of these various contingencies, particularly the war in Iraq and the responsibilities we will have in that country following the cessation of hostilities,the increase in the Federal budget deficit envisioned over the next 10 years ought to concern greatly every member of Congress. In the first 5 months of fiscal year 2003, the United States Government has already run up a $195 billion deficit. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that even without the President's tax cuts and without further increases in spending for the remainder of the fiscal year, the total budget deficit for 2003 will reach $246 billion. If we add the projected costs this year of the President's tax cuts the deficit would reach $287 billion. Most alarming, are the deficit projections for the next 10 years, incorporating the President's proposed tax cuts, released by CBO last week: $1.8 trillion. That's a pretty staggering sum, and it does not include any of the costs of our imminent actions in Iraq."
"We should be concerned about deficits, Mr. President. They limit economic expansion by reducing the amount of national savings available for investment. This raises both interest rates and interest payments on the national debt. Deficits constrain our ability to respond effectively to unanticipated fiscal events. If we do not reduce them, projected long term deficits will reach dangerous levels, lowering the national income and standards of living for future American generations. That said, Mr. President, I would still be open, at some point, to proposals to stimulate the economy with tax cuts. But not now. We should, Mr. President, take a pause in our efforts to increase spending on non-defense needs and to reduce taxes."

Let me get this straight. McCain and Bush double the National Debt to almost $11 Trillion in 8 yrs with tax cuts for the rich, BORROW-and-SPEND policies that grow government bureaucracy while paying for NOTHING. All BORROWING. Refuse to pay for their 2 failed, ongoing wars, while deregulating and cutting oversight, CRASHING the economy and neglect urgent health care crises. They failed to protect us on 9/11! And now, pray for Obamas demise? They hate America, they are immoral traitors!
Makes a $634 billion down payment on fixing health care that will go a long way toward paying for a more efficient, more affordable health care system that covers every single American.3
Reduces taxes for 95% of working Americans. And if your family makes less than $250,000, your taxes won't go up one dime.4
Invests more than $100 billion in clean energy technology, creating millions of green jobs that can never be outsourced.5 (see other post)
The war in Iraq will end quickly-5 YEARS ago. Well it's hasn't succeeded yet and the SURGE is working because of the SURGE of CASH DOLLARS to Sunnis to stay home and stop fighting. McCain and Palin are the consumate liars and panderers to the neo-con fringe of the unfortunate GOP that will have some serious soul searching to do after this election. VOTE EARLY - VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN
Who is HE? I wish I could vote for an smart Repub like him. Too bad the man they nominated is a spineless Bush croney. Before 2000 I never thought I'd vote Democrat. I DID vote for Bush in 2000 (on the ticket of "no nation building" - I voted for Johnson in '64 on the ticket of not "send[ing] American boys to die in Asian wars" - I should have learned my lesson) and it was the worst vote I'll ever make. Every election I am alive to see from now on, I will try to make amends for voting Bush.
