With just days before the country votes for the next President, Sen. John McCain is attempting to differentiate himself and his economic policies from those of the Bush administration. According to the Associated Press, McCain “promised to pivot from President Bush's economic policies and impose strict controls on government spending that would spur investor confidence and the stock market's recovery.”
"I will protect your savings and retirement accounts and get this stock market rising again," claimed McCain. "We both disagree with President Bush on economic policies. My approach is to get spending under control. The difference between us is he thinks taxes have been too low, and I think that spending has been too high."
"A stronger economy with greater investor confidence would help turn the stock market around," said Tucker Bounds, a McCain spokesman. "That would help drive up stock prices and the market recover."
"I will create millions of jobs through tax cuts that spur economic growth," continued McCain. "The difference between myself and Sen. Obama is my plan will create jobs, it's a difference of millions of jobs in America. My approach will lead to rising stock market prices, a stabilized housing market, economic growth and millions of new jobs."
