Have you heard these 55 misleading statements/ flip-flops of John McCain?
1)McCain says in a new TV ad: "Let's give every American family a $5,000 refundable tax credit" to buy health insurance. Sounds good. But McCain failed to mention how existing employer-sponsored health benefits would be affected.
2)McCain says that "just in the last few years" the government has puffed up "by 40 percent, by trillions." Actually, it has taken federal spending a decade to grow 40 percent, and even longer to grow by "trillions."
3) McCain seems to say that he can save $100 billion by cutting out earmarks. But budget experts say that cutting earmarks would actually save very little.
4) McCain says that eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax will save "more than 25 million middle-class families more than $2,000 every year." But McCain's "middle class" includes families making up to $200,000 per year, and the $2,000 figure is an average.
