1) What about government's regulatory roll? Product saftey regulations, humane working conditions, environmental protection? All thanks to big gov'ment.
2) Offshore labor - kind of glossed over the big gaping hole in "trickle down" theory.
3) McCain also believes in giving money to the people through "programs" (didn't hear a word about cutting Medicare, Medicaid, SS on the campaign trail, did you?).
Regulation limits the up-side as well as the down-side. Right now, we've forgotten 20 years of good economic performance because we've got to pay the piper.
My daughter and I actually talked about offshore labor. If we can sell overseas, why can't we buy labor from overseas if it's cheaper?
Regarding programs, McCain is talking about cutting back the drug benefit given in 2003. Obama is more likely to expand these programs to include health coverage for the middle class.
