Just in on the wires...John McCain is considering the roll out of a new Economic Revitalization Plan, but don't hold your breath expecting anything new from the old geezer. It's just a lot more of the same tired old trickle down from the top, let them eat cake Republican economic voodoo that we have all heard before. Low tax rates for investors (rich people like Warren Buffett), lower capital gains taxes (for UBER RICH people), and of course lower dividend tax rates (for the just plain filthy rich). This news leaked out by Mr. Deregulation himself, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
McCain considering new economic plan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain is considering rolling out a new comprehensive economic package to tackle the U.S. financial crisis, one of his closest supporters said on Sunday.
"I think it goes along the lines that now is the time to lower tax rates for investors, capital gains tax, dividend tax rates, to make sure that we can get the economy jump-started," said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
McCain, 72, was in the Washington area and off the campaign trail on Sunday, prepared for his debate on Wednesday against Democratic rival Barack Obama.
