McCain: Hostile to Free Markets

GOP nominee McCain isn’t just hostile to the Constitution, but to free markets also. This is depressing, given that Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s policies clearly have a left-wing, anti-market tilt. No one should be surprised that the Democratic nominee is no fan of free markets, but what chance do we have if the GOP candidate abandons (or never really embraced) these ideas?

Forget a lot of what McCain is saying now. Look at what he was saying a little while ago. Here is a USNews column from December 2007 detailing McCain’s plan for a Euro-socialist employment insurance program that went beyond what even Democrats were willing to offer: “[A] move to a Danish-style ‘flexicurity’ system. In that country, workers who lose their jobs have almost their entire salary replaced by the government but are also required by the government to aggressively look for new employment or accept retraining in a new field.”

I can make this election prediction with complete certainty: Whoever wins the presidential race will be hostile to freedom, limited government and free markets.
