Sen. John McCain: “[T]he economy is merely entering a rough patch.”

Having millions in the bank, one can afford to take this stance.

What is the republican plan to combat the coming recession? More of the same, which put us in this mess in the first place, of course!..

House Republican conservatives yesterday outlined a wish list that was sharply at odds with that of the Democrats: a steep cut in the corporate income tax rate, big tax breaks for business investment and a more generous tax write-off for business losses.

Most Republican presidential candidates are far more amenable to long-term changes in the tax code and spending that would address underlying drags on the economy rather than short-term, one-time fixes. And GOP leaders in Congress are concerned that Democrats would try to offset the cost of any stimulus package with future tax increases or loophole closures.

“It is incumbent upon Congress not to make matters worse by raising taxes on anyone, in any way,” House Republican leaders said Tuesday in a letter to their Democratic counterparts.

An aside:
A picture is worth a thousand words.

Do these people have a look of “we give a damn about ALL Americans” to you?

Well I’m not seeing it!
