WASHINGTON -- Senator John McCain says there's too much unnecessary spending and too few tax cuts in the Obama administration's economic proposals to stimulate the economy.
The Arizona Republican and former presidential candidate also complains the plan has no "endgame."
Interviewed Monday on CBS's "The Early Show," McCain said that after the economy recovers the U.S. should "be on a path to a balanced budget."
Instead, he says, the Democrats' plan would burden future generations of Americans with the biggest budget deficit in history.
He says it's time for both parties to sit down and negotiate. He says the Democrats need to consider his party's concerns, especially on cutting taxes.

Yeah, it is. Cedric keeps a list... a list of what he considers non-cooperative FReepers. I suspect you’re already on it just from your attitude about him (as he perceives it).

You forgot the most important thing: Trim government to fit the Constitution. That MUST be first and foremost in the Conservative agenda. Start cutting the many decades of “entitlements” and government spending that is not allowed by the Constitution. THEN you can claim to be a Conservative, for you are about conserving the very foundation of this country.

RE :”You forgot the most important thing: Trim government to fit the Constitution”
I didnt forget it, many so called conservatives have the starve the beast theory which always ends up as massive debt and Rs being voted out after 2 or 3 terms when economy crashes. It was my main point. But thanks for adding it, all you Bushies take note.

..a list of what he considers non-cooperative FReepers.Clearly, our poor Cedric is suffering from "Rabscuttle385 Derangement Syndrome" (a variant of "Conservative Derangement Syndrome")!

Actually, it’s more like a case of just plain derangement, with no modifiers. It’s hard to understand how Cedric’s survived this long, either here at FR or just in life. It’s a mystery to me.

Its a mystery to me.Well, McCain survived this long, so maybe Cedric just fell through the same cracks as McCain...or maybe Cedric *IS* McCain!

That would surely explain his derangement! AND his antipathy to conservatism.

Nope. I voted for Sarah, NEVER for McLame. Cedric/McLame, you are NOBODY’S Conservative, never were, never will be. It’s time and past for you to just change your affiliation to what you really are: A worthless, phony and disgusting big-government RAT. (But I do mean that in the kindest possible way, of course!)
