McCain Digging A Deeper Hole

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/opinion/20sun2.html

First McCain was opposed to Bush tax-cuts and now he is doing the complete opposite and wants to permanently extend taxes. Other proposals made by McCain are seriously defective. They are not well thought out or well planned, making him not very liked right now. In order for McCain to be taken seriously by voters, he needs to go back and devise a plan that will show he can govern the money without making the debt worsen. McCain’s efforts have shown that he is not very knowledgeable in economics; in fact he “has admitted that he does not know a lot about economics.”
I think McCain is not helping his campaign by making all of these comments that are digging him deeper into holes. I do not doubt that McCain will try to cut spending, but right now he is trying to close loopholes that are just not realistic. If McCain came up with a solid plan that he is very confident will work, then I think it would be a lot more comforting than for him to keep making proposals that are not realistic.
