John McCain Supports Mortgage Bailout
John McCain gave further insight into his economic views today. Along with his views that 1) a cap-and-trade system is the best way to deal with carbon emissions, 2) the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts were tilted too far toward the rich, and 3) pharmaceutical companies are the “bad guys” in America’s ongoing healthcare drama, you can add another view that McCain apparently shares with Democrats (and more and more Republicans in Congress): that homeowners need a taxpayer-funded bailout.
I know we’re all supposed to unite behind McCain to defeat Obama (or Hillary), but he’s making the uniting process pretty damn hard with this sort of thing.
