The Plan To Rescue John McCain

So in walks John McCain and inserts presidential politics into the financial market bailout plan-- a plan lawmakers had already announced an agreed framework on.

McCain denies that he's pushing any sort of alternative proposal, claims it's House Republicans.



Here's CBS saying McCain's plan would provide less oversight and larger tax breaks for corporations (just what we don't need).



So whose narrative is it? Did McCain really parachute in at the last minute, propose an alternative plan that has a much more private solution than Bush's public takeover of the financial industry? Or did the Democrats really have a plan together that was sabotaged by McCain's first visit to Washington and his job since April?

If McCain does have an alternative plan it should have been brought to the table last weekend and not today. If he was really concerned with the crisis he would not have waited until Thursday at 4pm to deliver his saving grace. He would have delivered on Saturday, Sept. 21st, the day he also published an article claiming that our economy was so strong and that deregulation was the answer so much so that our health care system should be designed after it. Five days later he's all concerned about a financial crisis apparently with a plan that provides less oversight and more tax breaks to corporations that can't balance their checkbooks. It should be an interesting debate, that's if McCain even shows up. He would have to, especially if he's got this save all plan that will deliver us from crisis.
