Here is a link to a new article about Greenspan's view of McCain's tax plan.
Greenspan's view
Alan Greenspan says the country can't afford tax cuts of the magnitude proposed by Republican presidential contender John McCain — at least not without a corresponding reduction in government spending.
"Unless we cut spending, no," the former Federal Reserve chairman said Friday when asked McCain's proposed tax cuts, pegged in some estimates at $3.3 trillion.
"I'm not in favor of financing tax cuts with borrowed money," Greenspan said during an interview with Bloomberg Television. "I always have tied tax cuts to spending."
Given Alan Greenspan's long run as director of the FED, I think this opinion will carry some heavy weight among some voters.
Then there's this tidbit from McCaskell
"Obviously he needs to go back to that book and study it some more," Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said during a conference call arranged by the campaign of Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
Also apparently McCain blew off the opportunity to speak before a large Summit gathering of conservatives (while only 10 miles away at his campaign headquarters) although they seem to be sadder than Palin didn't attend...how sad for McSame to be upstaged and she wasn't even there.
"I think there is some disappointment that he's not here. I think there's greater disappointment that Palin is not here," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a key sponsor of the summit. "I think people would have liked to have heard from her."
I think the media is seeing the light and going for the apparent gaps, gaffs and lies coming out of this campaign. It seems the shine is off the apple.
