Oh yeah. He was on the View this morning and told everyone they should "be
able to walk into a post office and fill out the forms . . . government
guaranteed loan" blah, blah, blah.
And which moron came up with the idiot that people should get tax breaks if
they buy up foreclosed property?

McCain takes on economy: Mortgages, jobs, gas
Posted: 01:09 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Sen. John McCain on Thursday offered his
most detailed ideas to date for easing the strains of the economic
downturn and the mortgage crisis.
In a speech to a small-business roundtable in Brooklyn, the
presumptive Republican presidential nominee touched on jobs, gas
prices and the need to make loans more affordable for homeowners.
McCain introduced what he is calling his “HOME Plan,” which blends
elements of mortgage rescue proposals by the Bush administration, the
Office of Thrift Supervision, House Financial Services Chairman Barney
Frank, D-Massachusetts, and Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd, D-
Connecticut.
