Neither of the candidates currently has a clue. It is business as usual in DC - including congress. Nothing short of a voter revolution is going to change things. Pat Choate's new book puts several things into perspective.

There is so much voodoo(or doodoo) in his "plan"...where do you start?
1. To save social security we need to keep politicians hands off the surplus every year.
2. Let medicare negotiate prices for prescription drugs...or is that "too free market" for McCain.
3. By cutting taxes and phasing out the AMT, how would he make up the shortfall in IRS revenues? Growth??? If we keep off-shoring where is this growth coming from? People who lose good paying factory jobs because the companies can do it cheaper overseas are taking lower paying jobs and cutting back on the spending which has been driving our ecomony. The guy at the paper mill who lost his job doesn't need a tax cut...he needs his job.
4. Telling the oil producers that they will eventually run out of oil surely will scare them into reducing prices.

I need to get back to work...anyone else want to keep going??

McCain doesn't have a clue.
