If The Maverick won’t fight - we will

In an ordinary time, I’d be content to let McCain shoot himself in the foot and return to his Senate seat by choosing to assume that explanations of the Economic ~~Bailout~~ Drive-Thru Bill are “too complicated” and refusing drag Uh-bambi’s absurd policies and associations thru the streets on a tumbril. Today I am not.

Here’s some ammo to spread around to your wrong-thinking pals.

Sen. Obama cited new economic forces to explain what appears like a return to an older-style big-government Democratic platform skeptical of market forces. “Globalization and technology and automation all weaken the position of workers,” he said, and a strong government hand is needed to assure that wealth is distributed more equitably. He spoke aboard his campaign bus, where a big-screen TV was tuned to the final holes of the U.S. Open golf tournament.

While Sen. McCain has argued that tax cuts—particularly on business—spur growth, Sen. Obama rejected that as flawed economics. “I’ve seen no evidence that...would actually boost the economic growth and productivity,” he said.

...The overall Obama economic approach echoes the 1992 presidential platform of Bill Clinton,… seeking a big expansion in infrastructure spending.

...The chances of pushing through an infrastructure spending program are greater now than they were in 1992, Sen. Obama said, because of new concern about energy prices. [not to mention a largely D Congress - e~C] Many alternative-energy projects—clean-coal technology, wind-power generators and the like—could be packaged as infrastructure. “The difference I would suggest is that there is a strong recognition in the public mind that we can’t continue on our current energy path,” he said. That means “there’s a bigger opening to bring about change.” [which means the gubbmint would own ‘em :: unaccountable, inefficient and overpriced porkers - e~C]

$15 billion a year for 10 years on energy technology. ...funded by revenue collected from a separate Obama proposal to cap greenhouse emissions through a system of trading pollution permits. Sen. Obama would auction those permits to producers of carbon dioxide…

“infrastructure reinvestment bank” that would finance $60 billion in high-speed railways, improved energy grids ...

To “capture some of the nation’s economic growth,” he said in the interview, “and reinvest it in things we know have to be done like science, technology, research and fixing our energy policy, then that is actually going to spur productivity.”

“Capture”?!? Like the wild and wily Unicorn?

Sorry, Buddy—I don’t think you meet the criteria of someone who can “capture” a unicorn.
