MCCAIN JUST LIKE BUSH ON THE ECONOMY: OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICANS' ECONOMIC STRUGGLES
Jobs numbers fell for the sixth straight month today as 62,000 American jobs were lost in June. Unemployment remains at a four-year high. Meanwhile McCain is in Mexico to tout his support of free trade policies that help CEOs but leave American workers behind. Like Bush, McCain is out of touch with American workers, and his economic policies would be more of the same.
After 8 years of Bush economics, America's families are hurting -- and McCain will be more of the same.
- Jobs numbers have fallen for six straight months. Unemployment remains at a four-year high.Oil has reached a new record high price, the cost of everything from food to health care is rising and millions of Americans are at risk of losing their homes.
McCain, like Bush, supports trade deals that help wealthy corporations, but hurt American workers.
o McCain is a big supporter of trade deals like NAFTA, which have devastated communities and cost American jobs. NAFTA has cost the U.S. more than 1 million jobs.
o McCain does not support blocking trade agreements because of labor and environmental issues.
McCain, like Bush, leaves American workers on their own. McCain is OUT OF TOUCH with the struggles facing American workers and has voted against protections for workers:
o McCain Straight Talk: Some Jobs '[Aren't] Gonna Stay in America ' In a town hall meeting in Salem , NH , in January, McCain said,"Some of those jobs are not in the right place." "I have to look you in the eye and give you some straight talk. If it's a low-paying job like in textiles that job isn't gonna stay in America ."
