I was rereading policy positions again between Obama and McCain.
Is anyone else really sick of hearing rhetoric and problem description instead of proposals and the justifications of why they would work?
Anyway, I came across this in McCain's Plan:
John McCain Will Establish Permanent Tax Credit Equal To 10 Percent Of Wages Spent On R&D. This reform will simplify the tax code, reward activity in the U.S., and make us more competitive with other countries. A permanent credit will provide an incentive to innovate and remove uncertainty. At a time when our companies need to be more competitive, we need to provide a permanent incentive to innovate, and remove the uncertainty now hanging over businesses as they make R&D investment decisions
The general co-chairman of John McCain’s presidential campaign, former Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas), led the charge in 1999 to repeal a Depression-era banking regulation law that Democrat Barack Obama claimed on Thursday contributed significantly to today’s economic turmoil
An Interesting New York Times, Op-Ed shows that Reagan was not completely free trade nor is this a conservative value.
I have to agree with Robert E. Lighthizer via this op-ed, and we see so many Paleo-conservatives who are looking at the results of these trade agreements along with Progressives and Populists and shouting from the rooftops for reforms pretty much along with us.
President Reagan’s pragmatism contrasted strongly with the utopian dreams of free traders. Ever since Edmund Burke criticized the French philosophes, Anglo-American conservatism has rejected ivory-tower theories that disregard the realities of everyday life.
