A letter to the editor in Wednesday's paper described Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain's economic plan as sound.
While these claims were full of McCain's qualitative merits, the only quantifiable data provided was that the plan was "signed-off" by 300 economists. Interesting.
The consent of 300 economists is no basis for a "sound" plan that will benefit Americans, especially students.
To comprehend Republican economic failures, one only needs to look at the Republican-sponsored Florida Homestead Exemption Amendment.
UF students are seeing their hometown elementary schools firing teachers and sharply increasing class sizes, all while raising taxation inequality among homeowners.
McCain's Democratic opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, will implement a smarter tax plan that will benefit the middle class through investment in schools and tax cuts for you and me, not CEOs and billionaires.
