SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ: Thank you. I’m very pleased to be here to discuss with you some of the issues in this campaign that most concern Americans, particularly the issue that worries us the most — the American economy.
All of us know what is happening to the economy. It is slowing. Over 400,000 people have lost their jobs since December, and the rate of new job creation has fallen sharply. Some economists have noted that companies seem to be on a “hiring strike.” Americans are worried about the security of their current job, and they’re worried that they, their kids and their neighbors may not find good jobs and new opportunities in the future. To make matters worse, gas is over $4 a gallon and the price of oil has nearly doubled in the last year. The cost of everything from energy to food is rising.”*
