8 July 2008 - 10:39am

July 8 - Yesterday, the McCain campaign released Jobs For America: The McCain Economic Plan, a 14-page document outlining its economic agenda. McCain's plan is a compendium of his economic policies, and includes ideas to offer immediate relief for families, balance the budget, cut taxes, reduce wasteful spending, control healthcare costs, achieve energy independence, and lower trade barriers.

Barack Obama has his own economic plan, entitled Keeping America's Promise: Strengthening the Middle Class.
