Is this the same McCain who voted against Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 and characterized them as "irresponsible" at the time?
I wonder why he (or anyone)m thinks its more responsible now.....with our nearly $10 trillion national debt (nearly double what it was before these tax cuts)!
IMO, they are still irresponsible, particularly if the top bracket is not sunsetted and returned to pre-2000 rates as envisioned in both the 01 and 03 bills.. and far more costly, by any measure, than Obama's plan.
At least Obama's approach to the Bush tax cuts....continuing the cuts for 94% of taxpayers (mostly middle class) AND paying for it by letting the cuts on the top 1% expire in 2010...seems a bit more responsible.
