He also employs lobbyists on his presidential campaign who are hired by foreign governments to lobby for U.S. agreement to job killing free-trade agreements with foreign nations. -

McCain Out of Touch on the Economy
April 23, 2008 | Progressive Media USA Research
On economic issues, John McCain’s record and agenda promise more of the same raw deal American families have gotten from President Bush. And It’s no wonder, McCain has professed to not knowing much about the economy, and thinks ‘the underpinnings of our economy are strong.’ McCain didn’t know the President had the power to appoint the FED chair, and admits the he doesn’t pay attention to economic issues. With Unemployment up, the economy in the midst of a recession, and a housing crisis Americans can’t afford a President who thinks our economic problems are “psychological.” -
Bad Advice: McCain's Economic Advisors
April 23, 2008 | Progressive Media USA Research
After admitting that he didn’t understand the economy, one would think McCain would assemble a top notch team of economic advisors. Instead he has assembled a who’s who of dog eat dog economic advisors who believe the solution to Americans’ economic ills is to do nothing. His top economic advisor admitted that the Bush tax cuts are easily two to three times the costs of the wars Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet McCain advocates extending the Bush tax cuts. Phil Gramm, a fierce opponent of any sort of government regulation, is widely regarded by many economists as being directly responsible for the current housing crisis. Knee deep in the Enron scandal, he’s hardly the poster child for economic good sense. Another top advisor, Carly Fiorina, is best known for being fired from her job as CEO of Hewlett Packard, for failing to achieve any of the objectives for which she was hired. She suggested McCain was adopting a do-nothing approach to the housing crisis, and said that the Iraq war had nothing to do with the current economic crisis.. With key advisors like these, it’s no wonder McCain seems out of touch. -
McCain: A Warmed Over Bush Plan To Fix The Economy
April 23, 2008 | Progressive Media USA Research
In what was billed as another major address on the economy, McCain stood before the American public and offered the same old failed Bush policies: more tax cuts for the rich, more corporate tax cuts, more job-devastating unfair trade agreements. Apparently after admitting he knew very little about the economy McCain felt he had to borrow ideas from Bush. After proposing a ‘do-nothing’ solution on the economy and the housing crisis, McCain backtracked and supported government intervention. Then he went further; He proposed the same Bush policies that have led us into recession, unemployment, a housing crisis, more Americans slipping into poverty,and record numbers of Americans on food stamps. - More»
