I don't understand the conservative adherents of the "low tax cult" who demand low taxes but are fine with borrowing billions of dollars to pay for this war, and paying exorbitant prices at the pump. It doesn't make sense. Just don't raise their taxes??!!
Looks like McCain wants to continue the same failed policies that have ruined our economy.
From Bloomberg:
McCain, who would like us to see him as holding a consistent and principled stance on tax cuts and fiscal discipline, is engaging in the mother of all economic policy flip-flops...
