Yesterday, April 15th, John McCain spoke in Pittsburgh detailing his plans for the economy. After reading the transcript of his speech i thought that it sounded awfully similar to Presidents of the past. Mostly geared toward the middle class, McCain talked about lower taxes, lower government spending, and proposed some new plans. He proposed a gas tax holiday from memorial day to labor day in which Americans are relieved of the taxes they typically pay on gas, a one year government spending freeze, and an increase in the price of prescriptions for wealthier senior citizens- just to name a few. These all seem to be good ideas on the surface. But, every four years we are overwhelmed with speeches by politicians that promise new and exciting plans for the economy. So, will these plans really be put into motion? Or are they just lies to help get McCain in office? Unfortunately, we will never know unless he gets elected. And by then it might be too late. Below i have added the link for the transcrip of his speech, a video for all of you non readers, and an analysis of the economic plan.
