Digital Sniper: “No “Reagan disciple” opposes tax cuts.”
According to McCain, he now claims he opposed the tax cuts because they weren’t combined with reductions in spending. Back when he initially opposed the tax cuts, he made statements to the effect that the cuts favored the rich. I could possibly support the former but not the latter. I don’t believe in class warfare.
As far as reductions in spending go, is there any evidence, other than resistance to earmarks, that McCain is a fiscal conservative? For example, he did oppose the prescription drug benefit. Do you know of any other way he’s tried to cut spending?
Considering that McCain wants to extend Social Security and Medicare benefits to illegal aliens, I'd have to say that's a resounding NO.
