No doubt John McCain was crisper and better briefed last night when discussing the economy compared with the first presidential debate. But he was still unable to a) defend his corporate tax cut, b) explain his healthcare plan, and c) highlight the weaknesses in Obamanomics in great detail. I really got the impression that Barack Obama knew the McCain economic plan better than McCain did. Two big mistakes: McCain didn't clearly explain that his healthcare plan would actually raise wages, since health benefits would now be taxed, in addition to giving folks a $5,000 refundable tax credit. Second, he did nothing to explain that his corporate tax cut would also boost wages, since workers bear 70 percent of the burden of the second-highest corporate tax rate in the world. Another missed opportunity.
