Well, make that one miss and one hit for McCain today. His "no new taxes" pledge is ill-advised, but I like his stand on farm subsidies. Campaigning in Wisconsin, both Clinton and Obama said they not only would continue a popula dairy-subsidy but could even seen expanding the payments. Not McCain:
At a time when Americans must work four months a year just to pay their taxes, John McCain cannot support farm policies that are too costly for the taxpayer, particularly when they also play a negative role in encouraging farmers to rely on government subsidies, " McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said of the dairy subsidy.
Good for him. McCain isn't well-versed on the economy in general, but at least he's strong on fiscal responsibility.
