Obama goes after McCain today on the issue that is going to be front and center in November. McCain has nothing new to offer because he knows nothing about the economy other than what tainted UBS lobbyist Phil Gramm has to say, which means more of the same.
On economic matters, Mr. Obama said: “John McCain and I have a fundamentally different vision of where to take the country. Because for all his talk of independence, the centerpiece of his economic plan amounts to a full-throated endorsement of George Bush’s policies. He says we’ve made great progress in our economy these past eight years. He calls himself a fiscal conservative and on the campaign trail he’s a passionate critic of government spending, and yet he has no problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for big corporations and a permanent occupation of Iraq policies that have left our children with a mountain of debt.”
