[42 min ago ] (NECN: Washington) - Lawmakers have reportedly made progress on an economic recovery package and a vote could come as early as this afternoon. The economic stimulus plan has grown to $937 billion. Moderates have been circulating a list of cuts...

But isn’t he the one who suspended his own presidential campaign to become part of this package?
Nobody follows a loser after they lost.
Thats just a fact of life. McCain’s plan isn’t much better, but then again thats not surprising since as he admits he’s basically an idiot on economic matters.
Sometimes, you just need a lil’ bit of Socialist on Socialist to make things interesting.
“The American people are figuring it out that this is not a stimulus bill, it is a spending bill full of unnecessary spending, unexamined policy changes and of course, tax cuts which really do not stimulate the economy,” said McCain.
“You cannot call a bill bipartisan if it has two or three of four or even five Republicans out of 535 members of Congress. You can call it an agreement, but not a bipartisan agreement,” said McCain.
McCain’s plan contained a one-year cut in the payroll tax, which would help all wage-earners, as well as reductions in the two lowest income tax brackets that would benefit only those who earn enough to pay income taxes.

Good for McCain. He needs to keep it up!
our country has NEVER seen anything like the outrageous abortion of a bilL!!!
Every tax paying American should be OUTRAGED and INSULTED.
I will be the first to thank him...if he stands strong and doesn’t end up voting for this rip off of the American people.
LOL! I remember that story about the boy shooting that monster pig. Maybe we can run him for President next time. :)
The word ‘progress’ should not be used when we’re speaking of spending $937,000,000,000 in tax payer money. Never.
McCain wants to cut payroll taxes. That's on target!
Now he grows a set. I guess better late than never. If only he was like this durning the election, we wouldnt have Obama.
This is essentially the 2009 Friends of the Democrats Payoff Act.
Why any Republican in their right mind would vote for this, or even seek to make it more reasoned so it could pass, is beyond me. This thing is rotten from a to z.
Which begs the obvious question, why in the hell wasn't he doing this in the first place? Say, in September and October? /masteroftheobvious
Er, hum, it was BUSH who cost us the election not McCain/Palin!
Yes, it is on target. Forbes is saying the same thing today.
The “bailout” in October was supposed to solve all these problems (McCain and Obama voted for it). Suddenly we need ANOTHER 900+ billion dollar “bailout”? When this one doesn’t work what will the next “bailout” be? 2 trillion?
I feel sorry for my grandchildren and great grandchildren having to pay this back. They’ll never have a decent lifestyle, having to pay this bloated pig of a Democrat government.
Posturing.
Colorado’s two Dim Senators have made it known they are part of the “moderates” trying to trim Porkulus. Maybe the realization is setting in that it’s not smart politics for the first act of the Messiah era to be to scream to the country the Dims are again the party of big spending and big government.
