But one of the only things McCain has going for him is that he is a fiscal conservative. He's not a supply sider, and he was against the Bush tax cuts, but he has always tried to hold spending down.
A Hoover Republican?
:-)
he is a supply sider but not hard core. He’s not going to be first in line to cut the top marginal rate. He won’t raise it either to soak the rich. He knows that would just hurt the economy and lower revenues.
It’s a Teddy Roosevelt thing. He wants to combine TR and Reagan.
He’s admitted that finance is not a strength for him.
