Senator John McCain doesn't have an effective plan

Senator John McCain doesn't have an effective plan to turn around the faltering U.S. economy Howard Dean said Saturday.


Senator John McCain remarks about the economy this week, I heard more of the same Republican policies that george Bushhas brought us for the last eight years," Dean said in the Democrats' weekly radio address.

Among those policies, Dean said, are "privatizing Social Security, denying our children health care, adding $8 trillion in new deficits, no plan to turn our economy around or help people keep their homes."

Despite the nation's current economic woes, including rising unemployment, lower wages and record gas prices, Senator McCain believes we are better off," Dean said.
