The Fundamentals of the Economy are Strong

John McCain's boneheaded remark - and then his attempt to backtrack and say that what he meant was that American workers are the most productive, hardest working, best workers in the world.



Unfortunately, McCain hasn't always believed that American workers are the most productive, hardest working, best workers in the world.



"Because you can't do it, my friend."

I'm guessing there are somewhere around 9.4 million unemployed American workers that would be happy to earn $50 an hour. For full-time work, that would be $104,000 a year.

McCain could give less than a rat's ass about the American worker. McCain supports business - but he knows he can't win on that message this year. I hope no one falls for his utter crap.
